Backend engineer at SONDA building a healthcare MVP with NestJS, TypeScript and PostgreSQL.
What I'm looking for
At SONDA, I'm building the backend from scratch for sales portals and the back office of a healthcare application MVP. I designed its backend architecture and data model using NestJS, TypeScript and PostgreSQL.
At Globant, I developed merchant features for a banking mobile wallet, including secure payment services and bulk merchant onboarding. I also optimized PostgreSQL queries and Redis caching to cut response times by 40%.
At Sofka Technologies, I built REST APIs and microservices for the back office of a mobile banking wallet serving 2M+ active users. The work included processing monetary adjustments, integrating third-party services and reducing latency by 35% through optimization and caching.
I’ve also delivered frontend features with React and Angular, mentored junior developers and contributed to code reviews. My background includes degrees in Systems Engineering and Civil Engineering, and I’m open to remote backend and full-stack opportunities.
