What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build secure, scalable backend systems and high-load APIs—using microservices, performance tuning, and CI/CD-driven delivery with strong ownership in Agile teams.

I’m a backend engineer building high-load APIs with Laravel/Lumen and Node.js, focused on reliability, performance, and security. I’ve worked on systems serving over 100,000 active users per month and delivering measurable gains like up to a 35% performance improvement.

I care about architectural thinking—DDD, microservices, and modular monolith patterns—and I enjoy shaping service decomposition and interaction patterns. I optimize databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, MongoDB) and use caching and indexing strategies with Redis to keep systems fast under real load.

I also bring DevOps discipline to my backend work, building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub/GitLab, ArgoCD, and Kubernetes basics, while strengthening monitoring and alerting (Sentry, Telescope). I’m motivated by strong ownership in Agile teams and by delivering secure, scalable solutions end to end.
