Senior backend engineer building distributed, microservices platforms on Node.js and AWS.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Backend Engineer focused on building reliable, scalable backend services for real-world SaaS products. I lead backend development for platforms that process continuous streams of data, turn events into actionable workflows, and keep systems responsive under load.
In my recent work on an employee tracking and workforce management platform, I designed and implemented a microservices architecture separating Tracking, Attendance, Alerts, Analytics, and Billing. I built Kafka-based event-driven communication for asynchronous processing, and used Redis caching to reduce database load and improve API response times.
I also integrate end-to-end business workflows: Stripe subscription management, recurring billing, invoicing, payment processing, and webhook handling, along with Zoho services for invoicing, customer management, and financial workflow automation. I deploy and maintain services on AWS (EC2, Lambda, S3) with CloudWatch monitoring.
I’ve built additional platforms from scratch, including an EdTech backend with live classrooms and real-time features (Moodle LMS, Zoom SDK, Jitsi, WebSockets, Google SSO) and an enterprise questionnaire management system with clean architecture and role-based access control. For travel operations and analytics, I create event-driven microservices with Kafka, Elasticsearch search, XState state machines, and maintain approximately 80% unit test coverage with Mocha and Chai.
