What I'm looking for

I seek remote or globally distributed teams where I can build scalable backend systems, work across time zones, and drive measurable performance improvements while growing in system design and platform reliability.

I am a backend-focused software engineer with 2.4 years of experience designing and building high-performance, scalable systems using Node.js, Express, MongoDB, SQL, and Redis. I have a track record of measurable improvements — boosting key API performance by 35%, reducing data retrieval latency by 40%, and scaling applications to handle a 10x increase in concurrent traffic.

I excel in remote collaboration across time zones, contributing clear documentation and proactive communication while using Docker, Git, PM2, and CI/CD pipelines. I enjoy solving algorithmic challenges (700+ LeetCode problems) and delivering robust features such as geospatial queries, Redis caching layers, GPS services, and secure QR-based verification systems.
