Full-Stack Backend-Heavy Engineer
Backend Engineer with 8+ years of experience building scalable and reliable backend systems. I design APIs, event-driven services, and cloud-native microservices with a focus on performance, TDD, and clean code principles.
Building the Backbone of Scalable Products
With over 8 years of experience, I've worked on production backend systems across logistics, med-tech, ed-tech, fintech, and e-commerce platforms. From architecting event-driven microservices to building APIs handling high-volume transactions, I focus on solving complex backend and scalability challenges.
I specialize in backend development using the .NET and Node.js ecosystems alongside relational databases. I've built and maintained payment systems, wallets, and secure transaction flows by integrating multiple gateways, with a strong focus on reliability and data integrity.
My core focus is backend engineering, system design, and service reliability. While I'm frontend-capable when needed, I primarily work on backend architecture, infrastructure-aware design, and long-term system maintainability.
Backend Architecture
Architecting and scaling backend systems — from modular monoliths to microservices and distributed systems — ensuring high availability and fault tolerance.
Database Optimization
Expertise in PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, and Redis for high-performance data solutions and query optimization.
Cloud & Deployment
Deploying and operating backend services on Azure and AWS using Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.
Backend-First, Frontend-Capable
Primarily focused on backend systems and APIs, with the ability to contribute to frontend codebases (React/Next.js/Angular) when needed.
