Early-career backend engineer specializing in scalable Node.js systems and PostgreSQL performance optimization.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am an early-career Software Development Engineer focused on building scalable backend systems using Node.js and PostgreSQL, with hands-on experience in API design, database optimization, and high-volume data processing. I have driven measurable performance improvements—reducing API latency by up to 70–80%, cutting response sizes with GZIP, and enforcing data integrity through schema changes that lowered daily bug reports.
My background includes designing asynchronous bulk upload pipelines, LaTeX-based invoice generation, and reusable migration/deletion utilities, as well as frontend component libraries that sped feature development. I combine practical engineering with a results-oriented mindset to improve reliability, performance, and developer velocity across products.
