What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my backend engineering skills, offers opportunities for growth, and fosters a collaborative team environment.

I am a Backend Engineer with over 3.5 years of experience in designing and implementing scalable APIs and distributed systems. My journey has led me to work on a social and e-commerce platform for golfers, where I combine chat, media, location, and store modules in a microservice architecture. I am proficient in building cloud-native, high-performance systems using technologies like Node.js, NestJS, TypeScript, and Golang.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong background in system design and event-driven workflows. I have successfully implemented AI-based content moderation and personalized feed capabilities, ensuring a seamless user experience. My experience includes managing development teams, conducting code reviews, and coordinating sprint deliveries, which has honed my leadership and communication skills.

I am passionate about tackling complex backend challenges and driving performance improvements. My goal is to build systems that scale reliably in high-traffic environments, leveraging my expertise in tools such as Cassandra, Redis, and Elasticsearch to deliver robust solutions.
