Diego Rodriguez
@diegorodriguez3
Backend engineer specializing in scalable NestJS GraphQL/REST APIs and performance-focused systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a backend engineer with two years of hands-on experience designing and deploying containerized GraphQL and REST APIs using NestJS and Express. I build production-oriented services with a strong focus on authentication, caching, pagination, background jobs and CI-driven testing.
My work emphasizes performance and reliability: I architected modular GraphQL APIs with cursor-based pagination, designed secure session and RBAC systems, and improved throughput via Redis caching and background processing.
I bring a solid C++ foundation for low-level data structures and performance-oriented design, demonstrated by template-based C++20 implementations and a relational data manager project using clean architecture.
I value clean system architecture, automated CI/CD, and reproducible deployments (Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions). I communicate fluently in Spanish and professionally in English, and I seek to contribute to teams that prioritize reliability, testability, and scalable backend design.
