What I'm looking for

I want to keep shipping backend-leaning full-stack features—feature-flagged, test-covered, and focused on real performance wins like latency reductions and lower storage usage.

I’ve been building backend-driven full-stack systems for EdTech, including a Gradebook API redesign that cut response latency by 50%+ by optimizing query patterns and removing redundant payloads.

At Zeus Learning, I designed a scalable table architecture for 1,000+ rows and columns with paginated fetching plus retry and rate-limiting safeguards, and I refactored the Redux store to support incremental and real-time updates without destabilizing grid interactions.
