What I'm looking for

I seek backend/cloud roles where I can modernize systems, build scalable multi-tenant services, mentor teams, and use Node.js/Python with strong CI/CD and observability practices.

I am a mid-senior backend developer with extensive experience modernizing legacy platforms, building multi-tenant systems, and architecting distributed services using Node.js, NestJS, and cloud-native tooling. I led migration of a large PHP EHS platform to a modern JavaScript stack, designed multi-tenant databases for 10+ tenants, and implemented high-throughput audit logging and asynchronous messaging (Amazon SQS) to support 100+ events/second.

I have full-stack experience across Python (Django, FastAPI), Angular, GraphQL/Hasura, and multiple databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), and I automate deployments with CI/CD and infrastructure tools like GitHub Actions, Ansible, Docker, and Azure/GCP. I mentor junior engineers, drive technical debt reduction, and deliver measurable improvements in reliability, compliance tracking, and user experience.
