What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, high-performance backend systems, especially payment infrastructure, API platforms, and emerging LLM-integrated products, while owning features end-to-end from design through testing and documentation.

I've led backend delivery at Nourisha, shipping Stripe payment flows with real-time webhooks that achieved 99.9% transaction reliability, along with APIs that removed 40% of manual admin work.

I build secure Node.js and TypeScript services using Express and NestJS, with JWT/OAuth2 authentication, OWASP-aligned RBAC, and MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Across Jupita.co and client projects, I've delivered payment integrations, REST APIs, testing, and documentation that improved uptime, onboarding, and integration speed.

I'm also building LLM-integrated backends and RAG pipelines through products such as Scoda AI, using LangChain and AI APIs to create practical, credit-based experiences.
