What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend/cloud role where I can design scalable Node.js services, strengthen AWS-based architecture, and improve CI/CD and production reliability—while partnering cross-functionally and mentoring teammates.

I’m a Senior Backend Engineer with 7+ years of experience designing, developing, and supporting scalable backend systems and cloud-native applications. I specialize in Node.js, AWS, REST API architecture, and database-driven services.

I build reliable backend services and integrations, optimizing application performance and improving deployment workflows. I’ve strengthened production reliability through infrastructure improvements, system troubleshooting, and performance optimization.

I also enjoy mentoring and collaborating across teams, leading backend efforts for enterprise applications and content management platforms. From CI/CD automation with Jenkins to cloud-native solutions with Lambda, S3, ECS, and Kubernetes, I focus on operational efficiency, maintainability, and production system reliability.
