What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a dynamic environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I am a seasoned Node.js Backend Developer and DevOps Engineer with over 7 years of experience in designing and deploying scalable, high-performance applications and cloud infrastructure. My expertise lies in building microservices architectures using Node.js (Express.js, Nest.js) and implementing RESTful and GraphQL APIs. I have successfully architected and developed a microservices-based backend infrastructure that enhanced scalability and modularity, achieving significant reductions in API response times and deployment times.

Throughout my career, I have managed deployments across AWS and Google Cloud Platform, leveraging Docker for containerization and Kubernetes for orchestration. I have established CI/CD pipelines that automate testing and deployment processes, resulting in increased release frequency and reduced downtime. My commitment to performance, security, and reliability has led me to implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform and Ansible, ensuring consistent environments across development, staging, and production.
