What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable, data-driven applications, especially in backend engineering, while contributing to full-stack and iOS products with strong engineering practices.

I built Career Cortex, an AI career training platform using Next.js, TypeScript, Prisma, and PostgreSQL, with resume generation, cover letters, interview quizzes, and career insights for 100+ active users. I also built GoalPulse, a SwiftUI and Node.js live football scores app, reducing external API calls by 95% through a TTL caching proxy.

At UpToSkills, I led contributors across resume, CV, and cover-letter modules, delivered core MERN features ahead of schedule, and improved backend performance by 30% through API and query optimization. I enjoy building MVVM-based apps, REST APIs, and data-driven systems, with a particular interest in backend engineering.
