What I'm looking for

I’m looking for backend engineering work where I can design reliable REST APIs, build strong authentication/authorization, and own production-quality architecture—remote-ready, collaborative, and focused on systems thinking, testing, and maintainability.

I’m a software developer specializing in backend engineering, with six deployed REST APIs built across Python/FastAPI and Node.js/TypeScript. I bring four years of backend system design and system architecture experience that strengthens my systems thinking, testing discipline, and production reliability.

I build authentication-secured, role-aware APIs using JWT and OAuth2, with careful authorization via Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). From Swagger UI and Postman-integrated endpoint documentation to consistent error handling and response standardization, I focus on backends that are straightforward to consume and maintain.

I enjoy translating business rules into scalable data models—implementing dual-role authentication, enforcing anti-duplicate constraints at the database level, designing relational schemas for complex relationships, and managing migrations with tools like Alembic and Prisma. I’m a fast learner, remote-ready, and able to contribute from day one, especially where production reliability and clean backend architecture matter.
