About

I am a Senior Backend Engineer with 6+ years of experience designing, building, and scaling backend systems for digital products and growing companies. My expertise focuses on backend architecture, distributed systems, microservices, API development, and cloud-based solutions using PHP (Laravel), Node.js, NestJS, and AWS. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with cross-functional teams to deliver backend solutions in fast-paced and distributed environments where I have taken ownership of complex technical challenges, improved system performance, and delivered reliable solutions that support business growth. Some highlights from my experience include: • Leading backend initiatives and resolving critical production issues to improve system stability. • Designing scalable microservices and backend services using Node.js, NestJS, MongoDB, and modern architecture patterns. • Optimizing APIs and databases, achieving significant improvements in performance and reliability. • Improving engineering workflows through Docker, CI/CD practices, testing, and better development processes. • Building integrations and systems that support business expansion and operational efficiency. I enjoy solving complex problems, designing reliable architectures, and creating software that is not only functional but also scalable and maintainable. I am always interested in connecting with engineers, teams, and companies building impactful products and solving meaningful technical challenges. I am open to remote opportunities and relocation opportunities where I can contribute to international teams, build scalable products, and collaborate in global engineering environments.
