Backend engineer with 6 years of experience building and scaling production systems.
Currently at HighLevel, working primarily on backend systems using Node.js/TypeScript, MongoDB and event-driven architectures. My work involves designing APIs, asynchronous workflows, third-party integrations and systems that need to operate reliably at scale.
