What I'm looking for

I want to build and scale full-stack JavaScript systems—own architecture, stabilize critical services, integrate third-party APIs, and mentor teammates in a product-focused team.

I’m a Senior Full Stack / Backend JavaScript developer with 6+ years of experience delivering scalable, high-load systems with multi-module architectures and complex integrations. I enjoy owning work end-to-end—from architecture and data modeling to deployment and monitoring—so features ship reliably and stay stable in production.

My core toolkit is Node.js, NestJS, TypeScript, and strong database work with PostgreSQL (plus MariaDB and MongoDB). I’ve built and optimized REST APIs, improved performance, reduced technical debt, and integrated third-party services to automate real business workflows.

In recent roles, I’ve worked across frontend and backend, improved UX and stability, designed/upgraded database queries, and helped teams organize delivery. I also led refactoring for better request performance, strengthened CI/CD and deployment automation, and mentored developers through code reviews and technical interviews—so engineering best practices stick.
