Software engineer building secure, scalable Node.js/TypeScript APIs and full-stack apps; I cut latency and ship ahead of deadlines.
CameroonWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience designing high-performance backend systems and full-stack applications. I specialize in Node.js, TypeScript, PHP (Laravel), and React, and I focus on building secure, scalable APIs that power data-driven products for thousands of users.
In my current role, I slashed backend latency by 40% by architecting a Redis caching layer and rewriting slow PostgreSQL queries and Laravel code. I design and deploy production-grade RESTful APIs, implement JWT-based authentication with granular RBAC (4 user roles), and help deliver projects ahead of deadline—earning repeat contracts from clients.
I also build for reliability and quality: I’ve achieved 99.9% data availability with zero data-loss incidents using a dual-database strategy (MongoDB + PostgreSQL/Laravel) and improved testing maturity by raising Jest coverage from 60% to 95%, reducing production bugs by 50%. Earlier, as a Back-End Intern and volunteer Front-End Developer, I optimized API response times, automated server diagnostics, and delivered responsive UI work—always collaborating closely in agile teams.
