What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration and innovation, where I can leverage my backend expertise to build scalable solutions and contribute to impactful projects.

I am a Backend Engineer with a strong focus on scalable backend development and cloud solutions. My expertise lies in using Node.js, TypeScript, and AWS to build robust backend services. I have a proven track record of delivering complex features end-to-end, ensuring high-quality code and automation throughout the development process.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led key integrations and built reusable libraries that enhance developer experience and maintainability. My passion for developer experience drives me to advocate for clean, maintainable code and efficient collaboration in remote-first environments. I take pride in my ability to modernize legacy services and implement best practices in testing and documentation.
