Interests

ISO8583

I have worked a long time in the payments space, and you’ll find that I’ve done quite a bit of work around ISO8583 messaging

isosim and libiso are two Go projects that can be used for testing ISO8583 related things -

• Define ISO8583 specifications
• Define TCP servers/clients backing the specs
• Define ISO8583 server logic based on fields like amount etc

I have other GitHub repo’s related to ISO8583 simulators/libraries in other languages like Java, JavaScript and Rust.

https://github.com/rkbalgi/tcptester is a Java library for TCP/IP load testing. I wrote this as a smaller alternative for JMeter based raw TCP testing.
