Backend-focused software engineer building scalable real-time server-side systems with TypeScript and Python.
What I'm looking for
I’m a backend-focused software engineer with years of professional experience building scalable, real-time server-side systems. I architect high-throughput pipelines (1,000+ events/sec), eliminate costly third-party dependencies, and lead projects from inception to delivery.
At Slash Plus, I migrated legacy Laravel codebases to Node.js to improve maintainability and performance. I co-designed and implemented a vehicle tracking system processing 1,000+ GPS updates/sec, and I replaced Firebase with MQTT for real-time communication—achieving 100% cost reduction and removing a third-party dependency.
I’ve also led full lifecycle delivery for an Appointment Management System (NATTA, BITM 2025) and built large-scale media processing pipelines with FFmpeg, reducing media file sizes by 90% for storage and bandwidth-constrained devices. I continue deepening my expertise in Go, Linux internals, and system programming, while staying hands-on with multi-tenant SaaS, payment integrations, and real-time IoT services.
