What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend-leaning role where I can own scalable APIs end to end, collaborate across web/mobile, and keep production quality high through solid DevOps, testing, and performance-focused engineering.

I’m a software engineer with 4 years of experience in backend development, scalable systems, and cross-platform applications. At SahEAT, I solely designed and implemented the full-stack backend API that supports ~5 requests/sec (90 at peak) for ~2000 daily users.

I’ve built and shipped a full-stack product suite across web and mobile while leading and code-reviewing a team of freelance engineers, covering a Flutter consumer app, a React/TypeScript restaurant dashboard, and POS extensions. I also run production infrastructure (Nginx, Docker), drive testability and deployment quality, and diagnose performance and reliability issues under live traffic.
