Senior full-stack developer specializing in Node.js microservices and performance-optimized B2B SaaS backends.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior full-stack developer with 7+ years building resilient B2B SaaS backends using Node.js, NestJS, and PostgreSQL. I focus on event-driven microservices, high-concurrency workloads, and performance optimization to reduce latency and operational overhead.
Most recently, I’m working as a Principal Software Engineer, fixing Docker build compatibility and delivering JWT-based authentication modules for an AI-powered SaaS platform. Previously, I led a team of 6 backend engineers for a high-traffic ratings application, cutting system latency by 30% through PostgreSQL query optimization and caching, and reducing manual interventions by 40% with automated AWS Step Functions pipelines.
I build production-grade systems that integrate Generative AI and LLM-driven workflows securely and scalably. I’m OCI Certified in AI and Generative AI, with experience in AI Foundations and data processing pipelines for real-world applications.
I thrive on end-to-end ownership—scaling infrastructure with AWS Lambda and RDS for 99.9% uptime, strengthening CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and delivering reliable APIs and real-time features with WebSockets and Socket.io. I enjoy mentoring, Agile/Scrum collaboration, and continuously optimizing system performance.
