Emiel Azucena

I’m a Full Stack Developer with 7+ years of professional IT experience, including 5 years in software development. I’ve built and maintained production systems for financial reconciliation, regulatory compliance reporting, and real-time operations—owning the full SDLC from requirements through deployment.

For 3 years as the sole developer at a regulated cooperative bank, I delivered end-to-end solutions under regulatory audit and compliance constraints. I led stakeholder interviews with department heads and end-users, translating complex banking workflows into precise technical specifications and working software.

I build with a core stack of TypeScript, Node.js, React, and MongoDB, and I’ve delivered production reliability through containerization and infrastructure hardening (Docker, Nginx, Linux, PM2, Apache). I also modernized and extended legacy Laravel/PHP systems, restoring maintainability while preserving compliance-critical functionality.

Some projects I’ve owned include a Regulatory Report System with AG Grid data entry, configurable RBAC role templates, multi-level approval workflows, and a MongoDB-backed Token Bucket rate limiter. I’ve also built an Election Management System using Socket.IO live results with SMS gateway notifications, plus a real-time multi-counter queueing solution with customer displays and staff controls.
