What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build backend-focused, scalable APIs (Node.js/Express) and secure REST services, while contributing to full-stack features. I enjoy team-based development, modern workflows, and shipping user-focused products.

I’m a backend-focused full-stack software developer with a background in Actuarial Science, and I build scalable web applications with a strong emphasis on efficient backend systems. With 3+ years of experience, I design and deliver secure APIs that power responsive, user-focused features.

In my recent work, I developed responsive UIs for a task management application and built scalable backend APIs using Node.js and Express. I implemented core task features like CRUD operations, search, filtering, and pagination, and I also work confidently in production-focused, team-based environments.

I thrive collaborating with teams and modern development workflows using Git, contributing end-to-end across backend and frontend. I’ve built full-stack solutions such as a leave management system and a school management system, and I also supported an accessibility-focused event platform by designing databases and RESTful APIs with Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL.
