Full Stack Software Engineer building scalable backend systems and user-facing platforms.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Full Stack Software Engineer with 2+ years of experience building scalable backend systems, integrations, and user-facing platforms. I focus on production-ready services that stay maintainable as they grow.
At Fortex Solutions, I built image and video processing pipelines including thumbnail generation, HLS (m3u8) conversion, and adaptive streaming. I also improved performance by introducing background workers and queues with Redis to offload heavy processing from foreground requests.
I delivered marketplace and payment-focused systems integrating Elasticsearch (fast search), Stripe (payments), Zoho (accounting), Careem (last-mile delivery), and Noon (delivery). I standardized controller-service-repository clean architecture in Node.js projects to improve maintainability and scalability.
I enjoy shipping full-stack features end-to-end—admin dashboards, multi-step onboarding, and multi-page checkout flows—while keeping environments consistent by Dockerizing projects. I’ve also automated provisioning using Terraform and built AI-driven workflows through projects like TextInsight.
