What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a collaborative team where I can build scalable full-stack products, own REST/microservice backend work, and ship AI-powered features (LLMs/MCP) using clean architecture and modern CI/CD.

I’m a full-stack software engineer focused on building scalable, responsive, high-performance web applications end-to-end—from concept to deployment. I work across front-end and back-end development, API integration, and modern development workflows, with an emphasis on clean, efficient, maintainable code and production-ready delivery.

In my recent role as a MERN Stack Developer at Powerhouse, I developed and maintained scalable backend services using Node.js, TypeScript, and NestJS. I designed and delivered REST APIs, microservice integrations, and MCP-based service layers, built and optimized data models and queries with Prisma and PostgreSQL, and implemented AI/chat backend capabilities including session management and MCP tool orchestration.

Earlier, as a Full Stack Engineer at AMOXT Solutions Inc., I built web applications using React.js and NestJS, improved performance, and coordinated closely with QA and product to ship features aligned with design requirements. I also created an AI-integrated e-commerce final year project with a virtual try-on feature (TensorFlow.js and OpenCV) and an NLP-powered chatbot (Dialogflow, NLTK), backed by a secure Node.js/Express/MongoDB API and JWT authentication.
