What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own backend systems end-to-end—shipping scalable APIs, building event-driven workflows, and improving performance and reliability with measurable outcomes, while growing into deeper architecture and platform ownership.

I’m a software engineer who builds backend systems that are fast, reliable, and easy to maintain. I enjoy turning complex workflows into modular services with clear interfaces and measurable performance gains.

At TaxHoa, I architected a scalable invoicing solution, built automated real-time tax calculation across multiple jurisdictions, and delivered a dynamic PDF templating engine that reduced document generation time by 5x. Previously, I cut API response times by 98% using asynchronous programming with RabbitMQ and created an event-driven pub-sub notification and emailing system that increased engagement by 25% after launch. I also built blockchain-enabled integrations and dashboards, including live staking metrics using GraphQL APIs.

I bring the same mindset to my projects: I created an open-source Coloured Icons library focused on optimized CDN delivery and lazy loading, and I’m developing Vembric to automate documentation versioning and dynamic content generation with an API-driven approach.

I’m motivated by solving hard problems with production-grade engineering practices—performance, uptime, and automation. My background includes strong technical achievement through the GATE Data Science & AI exam, plus consistent competitive performance and multi-language proficiency on coding platforms.
