About Me
Senior Backend / Full-Stack Engineer with 9+ years of experience designing production backend systems, cloud-native services, and secure identity workflows. My primary stack is NestJS, Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, AWS, and Docker, with a strong focus on API design, event-driven architecture, reliability engineering, and distributed system boundaries.
I have delivered fintech and public-sector identity platforms, including biometric enrollment services, secure API ecosystems, WebRTC-enabled real-time modules, and resilient integration layers. Recent work spans scalable production infrastructure, Dockerized service delivery, observability, SLA/SLO-aware monitoring, and backend services built for high availability, asynchronous processing, and operational traceability.
