What I'm looking for

I seek backend or platform roles building scalable, secure systems and payments, in collaborative Agile teams with opportunities to design high-throughput architecture and grow technical leadership.

I am a backend engineer focused on building scalable backend services, reliable APIs, and payments infrastructure for high-growth products. I specialize in Node.js and TypeScript and have strong experience in system design, database optimization, and cloud services.

At Flynaut LLC I designed and optimized REST/GraphQL APIs and microservices, reduced response latency by 40%, migrated a monolith to microservices on AWS ECS, and integrated Stripe to securely handle subscriptions and connected accounts. I have delivered systems that scale to 200k+ daily requests and implemented event-driven patterns, push notifications with FCM, and automated background jobs.

I bring hands-on experience across databases (MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis), message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ), and DevOps tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines. I work well in Agile teams, prioritize reliability and performance, and enjoy solving complex backend and payment infrastructure challenges.
