About

👋 Hi, I’m Elijah — a Backend Engineer with hands-on experience in building scalable server-side applications using Node.js, and TypeScript. I enjoy designing clean APIs, managing data with MongoDB and PostgreSQL, and learning how backend systems power real-world products. I’m passionate about solving meaningful problems and constantly improving my skills. Whether I’m writing backend logic or collaborating with a team, I care about writing maintainable code and understanding the why behind the system architecture. I'm currently looking for remote internship or full-time roles, especially in fintech or early-stage startups, where I can contribute, learn fast, and grow with experienced engineers. 🚀 Let’s connect if you're hiring or open to chatting about backend engineering, growth in tech, or startup life!
