What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build scalable REST/GraphQL APIs and event-driven microservices, collaborate in Agile teams, and keep improving performance through clean code, testing, and debugging.

I’m a Backend Engineer with almost 4 years of experience designing and building scalable REST and GraphQL APIs using Node.js, Express, and NestJS. I work across TypeScript, relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB), and ORM frameworks (TypeORM, Sequelize), and I’ve delivered event-driven microservices with Kafka and real-time features with WebSockets/Socket.IO.

In my current role as a Senior Software Engineer, I built and maintained Node.js backend services for product workflows, analytics, and customer issue resolution. I developed a marketing microservice integrating Kafka for event streaming, Redis for state management, and Strapi for content handling, and I also created an internal AI-driven interview portal with dynamic question generation and automated answer evaluation. Previously as a Software Engineer Level II, I optimized SQL queries for an analytics API (reducing load time by 60%) and implemented RBAC for secure, permission-based data access, delivering critical SaaS milestones using Agile methodology.
