What I'm looking for

I seek backend-focused roles where I can lead API and cloud-native development, integrate AI/Web3 features, mentor teams, and drive scalable, observable systems.

I am a Senior Node.js Developer and Backend Engineer with seven years in software development and five years focused on backend systems, building scalable RESTful APIs, WebSocket services, and microservices. I emphasize performance, maintainability, and pragmatic architecture using Node.js, TypeScript, and modern databases.

At Salvay I led backend development and team efforts to architect MongoDB and PostgreSQL solutions, implement Sentry monitoring, AWS S3 storage, payments and real-time multiplayer features, and design modular services that scaled with user growth. Previously at CLV Technologies I built secure Express.js APIs, JWT-based authentication and role-based access control, ensuring close collaboration with UI/UX and frontend teams.

I bring cloud-native deployment experience (Docker, GitHub Actions, AWS), Web3 wallet integrations, AI/LLM production integrations, and a background in Unity/C# game development. I am committed to shipping reliable systems, improving observability, and delivering business-focused backend solutions.
