What I'm looking for

I seek backend-focused roles where I can design scalable microservices, lead API/GraphQL integrations, work with Azure cloud, mentor engineers, and improve developer productivity in collaborative, agile teams.

I am a backend software engineer with 2.8 years building scalable microservices and cloud-native solutions, focusing on Node.js, GraphQL, and Azure.

I have designed REST APIs, led GraphQL federations, and merged 15+ microservices using Apollo Gateway to boost efficiency by 25%.

I built reusable TypeScript frameworks that reduced API development time by up to 16 hours, implemented event-driven pipelines with Azure Functions and Durable Functions, and standardized configurations to accelerate APIs by 30%.

I mentor small engineering teams, champion TDD and API documentation practices that lowered bugs and improved code quality, and seek roles where I can drive backend architecture, reliability, and developer productivity.
