What I'm looking for

I’m looking for Backend Developer roles where I can build secure REST APIs, strengthen authentication/RBAC, collaborate with teams, and grow through continuous learning—especially while advancing my cloud skills.

I’m a Backend Developer with hands-on experience building and deploying secure, scalable RESTful APIs using Node.js, Express, and Django. I focus on clean code, reliable API testing, and strong security fundamentals like JWT authentication and role-based access control (RBAC).

From my personal projects and freelance work, I’ve designed backend systems with secure CRUD flows, proper input validation and error handling, and file upload/storage using Multer. I also deploy and manage backend applications on Render with Git/GitHub, and I’m actively expanding my cloud skills across AWS, Azure, and DigitalOcean.
