What I'm looking for

I am looking for backend or full‑stack roles where I can design scalable APIs, improve database performance, work in Agile teams, and expand cloud/DevOps skills in product-focused environments.

I am a backend-focused software engineer who builds secure, scalable web applications and robust APIs with a focus on performance and reliability.

I have designed REST and GraphQL APIs, implemented authentication systems (JWT, OAuth), and optimized databases across PostgreSQL, MongoDB and MySQL; notable projects include a recipe-sharing platform integrating Google OAuth for thousands of users and a real-time chat system using Socket.IO, Redis Pub/Sub and WebSockets.

I collaborate in Agile teams, use Git for version control, and have delivered production features as a freelance full-stack developer and as an intern for an agritech company; I seek to contribute backend and full-stack expertise to impactful product teams while growing cloud and DevOps skills.
