What I'm looking for

I seek an internship or entry-level backend role where I can apply Node.js/Express/MongoDB skills, learn from experienced engineers, contribute to API development, and grow in a collaborative, mentorship-driven environment.

I am an aspiring Backend Engineer and Software Engineering student with hands-on experience building RESTful APIs using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. I have implemented authentication systems (JWT), CRUD operations, error handling, and tested endpoints with Postman while applying MVC patterns and role-based access control in course projects.

I have delivered projects including a Todo List API and a tour-booking Natours application, and an e-commerce backend to deepen my skills in product, cart, and order management. I am eager to gain industry experience through internships and real-world backend engineering roles.
