I’m a Backend Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable distributed systems using Node.js, TypeScript, MySQL, REST APIs, and microservices. I focus on backend architecture, event-driven systems, CI/CD, and production-scale platform modernization.

At Eptura (08/2023 – Present), I developed scalable backend services in Node.js/TypeScript with MySQL for enterprise applications handling 10K+ daily requests. I designed REST APIs, service contracts, and microservices, contributed to LLD and platform modernization, and led migrations of thousands of users and records into a unified platform with minimal downtime and backward compatibility.

Previously at Rapid Innovation (07/2021 – 06/2023), I built backend applications using Node.js, TypeScript, REST, GraphQL, and gRPC, improving reliability by 30%. I designed microservices and Kafka-based asynchronous pipelines, increased throughput by 40%, optimized APIs and database access patterns to reduce latency by 20–30%, and automated deployments via CI/CD pipelines.

Earlier, I worked across production support and backend engineering fundamentals—resolving 100+ production issues/month, performing root-cause analysis, and creating troubleshooting playbooks that reduced resolution time by 25%. I also built responsive web applications with JavaScript/React.js and a shopping cart with JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and localStorage—so I bring both backend depth and practical product-minded engineering.
