Andrew Engineer
@andrewengineer
Backend-focused engineer delivering greenfield APIs, performance wins, and scalable real-time systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a backend-focused Middle Backend / Full-Stack Engineer with 3+ years at a single B2B SaaS product company, growing from frontend into middle backend. I focus on strong API design, contract ownership, and shipping cross-functional with backend, frontend, design, BA, and PM.
I’ve delivered a fintech greenfield MVP—from architecture and database design to core payments flows, KYC, and audit logging—plus secure integrations for SMS, email, and external services. On an EdTech platform, I owned major backend scope including homework versioning, submission/review workflows, admin APIs, and notification systems for push/in-app experiences.
In a B2B CRM, I improved critical routes 3–4× faster through query tuning and Redis caching, while building REST/GraphQL APIs for dashboards with RBAC, activity logs, and notifications. I also built a real-time multiplayer backend with WebSockets and event-driven architecture for thousands of concurrent users, and practice system design through my TradeBack microservices project.
