About

⚡ Backend Engineer passionate about turning product ideas into scalable, reliable systems. I design and ship RESTful APIs & microservices with Golang, Node.js, TypeScript, and NestJS, optimize performance with Redis caching & query tuning, and streamline workflows through automation & CI/CD pipelines. 🛠 Skilled in legacy → modern migrations, enterprise integrations, API security, Dockerized deployments, and AWS infrastructure. Experienced in building systems that balance scalability, performance, and security in fast-paced product environments. 💡 Driven by curiosity and a problem-solving mindset, I thrive in tackling scaling challenges, simplifying complex architectures, and creating backends that teams love to build on.
