Backend engineer building scalable REST APIs and secure cloud services with Node.js and Python.

What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote or international roles where I can build scalable REST APIs, secure authentication, and cloud-deployed services. I want to work in Agile teams and deliver performance improvements through caching, indexing, and solid system design.

I’m a Backend Engineer with 1+ year of production experience building scalable REST APIs, authentication systems, and cloud-deployed services for a London-based startup. I enjoy turning complex requirements into reliable, maintainable backend features.

In my contract work, I engineered production-grade REST APIs in Node.js + Express, integrated with PostgreSQL, and secured endpoints with JWT-based authentication. I implemented Redis caching on high-frequency endpoints, cutting average response time by ~40% and reducing unnecessary database round-trips.

I’ve also built Python scripts for backend data processing and third-party API integration to automate manual workflows and improve data pipeline reliability. On the database side, I optimized PostgreSQL queries and added targeted indexes to improve read performance on critical endpoints.

Seeking remote or international roles, I thrive in remote, cross-functional teams under Agile workflows. I care about clean Git practices and review-driven development, and I’ve supported zero merge conflicts escalated to production in a fully remote, async setup.
