What I'm looking for

I seek backend roles focused on scalable APIs, secure payment integrations, clean code, collaboration, growth opportunities, and modern DevOps practices.

I am a backend developer with hands-on experience building scalable, secure, and efficient web applications using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.

I have developed two full backend systems — an E-Commerce backend and a Blog Management System — where I implemented JWT authentication, bcrypt password hashing, Stripe payments, Cloudinary image uploads, Redis caching, and Mongoose ORM. These projects gave me practical experience in API design, database modeling, and secure payment flows.

I work with Docker for containerized deployments, follow proper Git workflows, and focus on writing clean, maintainable code. I am actively looking for a remote junior backend role or paid internship where I can contribute to real-world products and continue growing as an engineer.

I am also passionate about open-source contributions and API optimization.
