What I'm looking for

I'm looking for backend or full-stack roles in Spain or remotely across the EU, with the option to relocate for the right team. I want to build reliable production services, collaborate closely with engineers, and keep growing through challenging product work.

I've shipped Node.js backend features for Halan's ride-hailing platform and Yodawy's healthcare services, working on APIs, microservices, payment flows, and regulated data processing.

As a freelance Backend Developer, I own projects from specification to deployment for small businesses and early-stage clients. I design PostgreSQL and MongoDB schemas, tune queries, build REST APIs, and integrate payment, notification, and fulfillment providers.

I bring production experience across fintech, healthcare, and enterprise software, with a focus on clean pull requests, consumer-oriented APIs, and reliable services. I'm currently completing the Codeworks Software Engineering Immersive, deepening my JavaScript, systems design, and AI-assisted development workflows.
