Software Engineer building high-performance end-to-end web applications.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Software Engineer experienced in developing end-to-end web applications with React, Node.js, Python, and modern frameworks. I focus on building interactive front-end interfaces, optimizing back-end performance, and delivering seamless user experiences.
In my recent role, I designed and implemented a high-performance web platform that improved user engagement by 35%, built a microservices-based architecture for faster feature deployment, and integrated GraphQL APIs to reduce frontend data-fetching time for over 50,000 daily users. I also migrate legacy systems, optimize PostgreSQL and MongoDB queries (40% faster retrieval), and automate releases with CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Docker to achieve zero-downtime deployments.
