What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build secure, high-performance backend services with Node.js and microservices—deploying to AWS with strong CI/CD, system design, and observability in an Agile team.

I’m a Backend Developer with 3+ years of experience designing, developing, and optimizing scalable enterprise applications. I focus on building reliable backend systems using Node.js, Express.js, and microservices architecture.

I’ve built and optimized REST APIs, SQL queries, and microservices that improved application performance by 25%. I also integrate Redis + BullMQ for background processing to ensure high throughput and reliability.

From AWS CI/CD deployments (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) to secure coding with JWT, OAuth2, and RBAC, I bring strong system design, database optimization, and performance tuning. I thrive in Agile/Scrum teams to deliver high-performance, maintainable solutions.
