What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build high-scale backend and real-time systems with end-to-end ownership, combining pragmatic system design with AI/MCP + LLM integrations, and shipping products that meet strict latency and uptime targets.

I’m a backend-focused founding engineer who builds end-to-end, production platforms with pragmatic architecture and strong system design. At Voltvave Innovations, I architected Zoober from scratch—mobile apps, production-grade servers, and cloud infrastructure—reaching 99.9% uptime while processing large-scale order flows under tight latency.

Previously at TingTing, I led a Node.js/Express backend processing 80K+ orders at <200ms P95 latency, paired with real-time WebSocket sync for order/rider/CRM updates. I also deployed scalable cloud infrastructure and built a multi-app Flutter ecosystem across customer, merchant, rider, and admin panels, integrating maps, messaging, payments, and operational automation.

I also build AI/MCP capabilities, developing a Model Context Protocol (MCP) engine that enables standardized AI/LLM-to-data communication via SSE/STDIO across multiple platforms. I bring this same ownership mindset to projects like my event-driven microservices monitoring dashboard and my offline-first Flutter apps, always optimizing for performance, reliability, and shipping velocity.
