At CityLockers, I build Python, FastAPI, and Node.js services for bookings, locker management, device communication, and customer workflows. I design REST APIs, optimize PostgreSQL, implement Redis Streams and Outbox workflows, and troubleshoot production issues across distributed application state.

Previously, I delivered Node.js, Express.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and React.js applications at RDXB / Valcom Properties, improving API performance and deployment workflows. I’ve also supported cloud-based, IoT-related, networked systems at Upande Limited across application, infrastructure, and connectivity layers.
