What I'm looking for

I'm looking for backend- or full-stack roles building scalable APIs and production systems, with opportunities to ship features, improve reliability, and grow technical responsibility.

I'm a software engineer with three years building production-grade apps and systems using modern stacks like TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, Java Spring Boot, and databases such as MongoDB and MySQL. I focus on high-performance API services, reliable data integrations, and user-friendly backends that solve real business problems.

I've delivered features including a newsletter subscription API with validation and metadata logging for a blockchain crowdfunding platform, core backend services for an e-commerce site, pagination and filtering for an employee management system deployed with Docker and cloud services, and a CLI tool with smart caching and rate-limit handling. I prioritize clean, maintainable code and pragmatic solutions that scale.
