What I'm looking for

I seek backend-focused roles building scalable microservices and APIs, with strong engineering culture, mentorship opportunities, and cloud-native deployments.

I am a backend engineer with 4+ years building scalable systems using Laravel, NestJS, and Node.js, focused on microservices architecture, database optimization, and reliable API design. I have delivered B2B platforms, ERP integrations, and event-driven middleware while mentoring junior engineers and establishing code-quality standards.

My work emphasizes performance and observability—optimizing queries, implementing Kafka/RabbitMQ streaming, and deploying monitoring with Grafana and Laravel tools. I thrive in collaborative teams, implement CI/CD pipelines, and design robust, containerized services for production at scale.
