What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build and optimize high-throughput backend systems—scalable APIs, caching/indexing performance, and reliable CI/CD—while tackling real security requirements and shipping measurable improvements.

I’m a backend engineer with 2+ years building high-throughput financial and geospatial systems. I focus on scalable Node.js/Python services, API design, and performance tuning that holds up in production.

In contract and freelance work, I built async REST APIs using FastAPI and Python with SQLAlchemy/asyncpg against PostgreSQL. I also integrated Google Workspace APIs for internal tooling, handling auth flows and reliable data synchronization.

At Agribid, I architected an NCCF + Agribid backend platform with auth, RBAC, and audit logs—improving reliability and reducing unauthorized access events. I delivered sub-1s queries across 20M+ records using Redis caching and PostgreSQL indexing, and integrated 10+ fintech/government APIs with retry logic and validation layers.

I’ve also strengthened delivery and security through CI/CD optimization (30% faster deployments), RHEL migration, and GDPR/SOC-2-aligned practices. On the side, I build open-source tools and products like an AI-powered invoice platform and a real-time collaborative DB schema visualizer.
