What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values innovation and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a results-driven Node.js Backend Developer with over 3.5 years of experience in designing and developing scalable, high-performance web applications. My expertise lies in Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, and MySQL, with a strong focus on Microservices architecture and real-time systems. I have successfully deployed applications on AWS and have a solid understanding of caching and messaging systems like Redis and Kafka.

Throughout my career, I have developed REST APIs and backend modules for various enterprise applications, collaborating closely with front-end and mobile teams to ensure seamless integration. My experience includes automating deployments using Docker and GitHub Actions, as well as managing production issues and system performance monitoring. I thrive in Agile/Scrum environments and am committed to delivering high-quality, clean code.
