What I'm looking for

I am looking for remote backend or full-time roles focusing on scalable systems, mentorship opportunities, and a collaborative Agile culture where I can drive technical improvements and product impact.

I am a software engineer with 4+ years of full-stack experience and strong backend expertise, focused on building scalable, maintainable systems that drive business impact. I specialize in Node.js and NestJS, with hands-on experience designing services, databases, and CI/CD workflows to support growth-stage products.

I've driven technical improvements that reduced maintenance and latency — migrating marketplaces to NestJS for ~30% lower maintenance, optimizing APIs with worker threads to cut response times by ~40%, and preventing negative inventory using distributed Redis locks. I have experience at startups through Series A and in founding roles, having led teams to deliver MVPs and trained engineers in clean code practices.

I value pragmatic, well-architected solutions and collaborative delivery in Agile environments. I seek roles where I can contribute backend leadership, mentor engineers, and implement reliable, performant systems for product scale.
