What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote roles globally where I can build backend-first full-stack products—secure RBAC, high-performance APIs, and reliable React interfaces—owning end-to-end delivery while focusing on performance, security, and maintainability.

I’m a backend-first full-stack engineer with 3+ years building and maintaining MERN/NestJS services, databases, and REST APIs that power scalable production platforms. I own full-stack delivery across React interfaces, API integrations, and authentication/RBAC—writing clean, maintainable code with minimal supervision.

At AppRocket, I delivered backend-first full-stack engineering across 4+ production platforms, using React.js, TypeScript, Node.js/NestJS, Express.js, MongoDB/PostgreSQL, Redis, Prisma ORM, REST APIs, Docker, GitHub Actions, and AWS deployment concepts. I built scalable APIs, secure RBAC workflows, and reusable components supporting 3+ user roles across business-critical modules.

I’ve also driven measurable improvements across products, including reducing manual support dependency by ~30% with an AI-powered RAG chatbot, cutting API response times by ~25% with Redis caching and MongoDB aggregation pipelines, and improving secure document collaboration with granular permission levels and visibility modes. Across my work, I stay focused on performance, security, and reliability.
