About Me

Hello! I'm Arthur Silva

I'm a Staff Engineer at LodgeLink with 9+ years of experience in Golang backend development, distributed systems, and platform engineering. I design and scale reliable software architecture, lead cross-team technical initiatives, and help organizations evolve from early-stage products to platforms serving millions of users.

Latest Roles

As a Staff Engineer at LodgeLink, I'm helping build a net-new 3.0 platform as a distributed Golang microservices architecture and modern backend foundation. I operate as a Principal-level engineer across pods, leading software architecture decisions, backend platform design, and coding standards for Go engineering teams. Before LodgeLink, I spent a year at Aylo as a Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead on TrafficJunky, their advertising network, building Google Ads-like systems at global scale, where the platform serves 4-6 billion ads daily across brand websites like Brazzers, YouPorn, Pornhub, and others.
