What I'm looking for

I am seeking backend roles where I can build scalable, resilient systems, work in Agile teams, and drive performance improvements and reliability.

I am a backend developer with 3+ years of experience building and optimizing high-performance, scalable systems for enterprise applications. I specialize in Node.js, Express.js, GraphQL and Elasticsearch, and I design resilient, event-driven architectures using Kafka, RabbitMQ and ActiveMQ.

At Intellect Design Arena Ltd I scaled Node.js services to increase throughput by 30% and reduce latency by 25%, integrated messaging systems to improve reliability by 40%, and implemented Elasticsearch indexing to cut query response times from 5s to under 1s. I also led zero-downtime go-lives, reduced production defects by 20% through better API design and automated testing, and mentored junior developers to raise team productivity and code quality.

I deliver cloud-ready solutions with a client-centric focus, collaborate across teams in Agile environments, and bring hands-on expertise in modern API design, database integration, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes) and CI/CD practices.
