What I'm looking for

I seek backend or cloud-focused roles where I can build scalable systems, improve performance, and work with a collaborative team using AWS, Node.js, and CI/CD.

I am a results-driven software engineer with four years of hands-on experience building scalable Node.js backends using NestJS and Express.

I design and optimize database schemas across PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB, and I use ORMs such as TypeORM, Sequelize, and Mongoose to deliver maintainable data layers.

I build cloud-native solutions leveraging AWS services including Lambda, EC2, S3, SQS, Step Functions and CloudWatch, and I implement CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions to ensure reliable deployments.

I am passionate about clean, performant code, strong security practices (JWT/OAuth), and continuous improvement through monitoring, logging, and performance optimization.
