What I'm looking for

I seek backend or full-stack roles focused on scalable APIs, performance optimization, and reliable CI/CD in companies valuing code quality, cross-team collaboration, and mentorship.

I am a backend engineer focused on Node.js and TypeScript, with hands-on experience building scalable APIs and payment systems for multi-app platforms (web + mobile). I prioritize performance tuning, reliable architecture, and clear API design.

At Bamrec, I led backend development for multiple mobile apps, web, and super-admin interfaces, reducing API latency from 10s+ to under 2s through refactoring, indexing, and Redis caching. I also integrated Stripe payments, designed timezone-aware Mongoose schemas, and implemented FCM push notifications for thousands of devices.

As Lead Backend Developer at Velzosoft, I contributed to a microservice architecture and API Gateway, owned CI/CD pipelines with end-to-end Cypress automation, built automation to surface test results to Slack, and improved backend reliability and release processes through cross-team collaboration.

Earlier full-stack work included migrating legacy jQuery sites to React, building PHP/MySQL backends with JWT and role-based auth, and deploying LAMP services with CI and backups. I enjoy mentoring, code review, and staying current with cloud, DevOps, and emerging technologies.
