What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills and fosters growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a results-driven Backend Developer with around 6 years of expertise in architecting scalable, high-performance systems using technologies like Laravel, React.js, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript. My experience spans across various sectors including FinTech, InsTech, Ecommerce, Med EdTech, and government platforms. I excel in designing fault-tolerant APIs and optimizing SQL and NoSQL databases for massive transaction volumes, consistently delivering business-critical solutions with impressive uptime.

Currently, I am working at Senang.io, where I successfully migrated a core PHP legacy merchant portal to a Node.js/TypeScript microservices architecture, significantly reducing API latency and enhancing the performance of a global SaaS insurance platform. My role also involves building RESTful APIs and architecting backend systems that process millions of policies annually, ensuring high availability and performance. I have a proven track record of leading teams and conducting technical interviews, fostering a collaborative and efficient work environment.
