I’m a senior backend engineer with 6+ years building production Node.js and TypeScript systems with NestJS, Express, and microservice architectures. I like owning services end-to-end—from architecture and implementation to deployment and on-call—so the system behaves reliably in the real world.

At TRT, I architected the core backend for a global CMS, ingesting and processing 50,000+ feed items daily through a multi-service NestJS pipeline. I built a Next.js SSR platform that serves content across 45+ language editions to millions of monthly active users, with optimized rendering, caching, and edge delivery.

I also focused on measurable impact: I integrated OpenAI API into editorial workflows, cutting content production time by 30%, and used Redis caching plus query optimization to reduce storage and compute costs by 25%. I built Go-based internal tooling to automate feed processing and support the overall ingestion pipeline, keeping the delivery fast and maintainable.

Beyond core backend work, I enjoy shipping across the stack and product surface area. I’ve led advisory engineering on a multi-platform accident reporting product (React Native/Expo and NestJS on AWS), including an AI crash assistant using state-machine and tool/function calling patterns, plus complete release pipelines with Fastlane, EAS builds, and Sentry.
