Senior backend-focused full-stack engineer building scalable microservices with Node.js, TypeScript, and AWS.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior backend-focused full-stack engineer with 9+ years of experience building scalable microservices and distributed systems using Node.js, TypeScript, and AWS. I design and deliver APIs, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native data pipelines with a strong emphasis on performance optimization and stability.
In my most recent role, I improved platform maintainability and reduced regression issues by 30% through better architecture patterns and automated Jest coverage. I also enhanced onboarding and activation—cutting early friction by 40%, increasing engagement by 35%, and improving activation by 20%—while strengthening secure cross-system access using OAuth and JWT.
