About

Experienced Backend Developer with a strong foundation in building, modernizing, and scaling web applications across e-commerce and enterprise systems. I bring hands-on expertise in migrating legacy applications to modern architectures, developing robust backend services, and delivering responsive, user-centric frontend experiences. In my most recent role, I led and contributed to the migration of legacy PHP applications to Node.js and Express.js, significantly improving scalability, performance, and maintainability. I design and implement RESTful APIs, develop scalable backend services, and optimize databases using MySQL and MongoDB, achieving measurable gains in query performance, system stability, and integration efficiency. I’ve also integrated third-party services such as WhatsApp messaging via Gupshup API, enhancing communication workflows within applications. Earlier in my career, I worked extensively on e-commerce platforms, improving UI/UX using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, WordPress, and WooCommerce. I developed dynamic single-page applications using AngularJS, built RESTful APIs with CodeIgniter, and optimized MySQL databases through query tuning and indexing—delivering faster load times, responsive designs, and improved user engagement. Across roles, I’ve collaborated closely with cross-functional teams, used Git/GitHub for version control and code reviews, and consistently diagnosed and resolved production issues within strict SLAs through effective root cause analysis. I’m passionate about clean code, performance optimization, and building scalable solutions that align with modern development best practices—always focused on delivering reliable systems and meaningful user experiences.
