What I'm looking for

I want to build reliable, high-performance products end-to-end—owning backend and frontend delivery, scaling microservices with cloud infrastructure, and mentoring teams in Agile environments to ship user-focused outcomes.

I’m a Full Stack Engineer with 8+ years of experience building scalable web and mobile applications across fintech, edtech, real estate, food delivery, and enterprise solutions. I specialize in delivering user-focused, high-performance systems—using React, React Native, and modern frontend tooling, alongside strong backend engineering with PHP (Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter), Golang, and Node.js (Express.js, NestJS).

In my recent work as a Senior Backend Engineer, I’ve engineered and optimized backend systems that improved API performance by 30% and scaled services for 50k+ active users. I’ve rebuilt critical payment modules, implemented Redis caching, background queues & crons, microservices with Docker, and helped maintain 99.9% uptime while improving deployment automation across Azure and Huawei Cloud. I also take pride in leading cross-functional work in Agile environments—designing platform features like savings/loyalty and co-developing transaction scheduling to drive retention, reliability, and automation.
