I’m a software engineer focused on building production-grade backend and full-stack applications with Node.js (Nest.js/Express), TypeScript, and React. I enjoy designing clean REST APIs, modeling data with Prisma across PostgreSQL and MongoDB, and delivering secure, well-tested systems with robust observability—often using Jest, structured logging, and CI/CD pipelines on AWS. I also build AI-powered features, including RAG over MongoDB Atlas Vector Search with OpenAI embeddings and LLM API integrations. Recently I’ve worked on real-time collaboration and streaming AI chat experiences (SSE/token streaming, retrieval strategy evaluation, and provider fallback handling), and I’m passionate about maintainable architecture, thoughtful security (JWT/RBAC), and measurable performance improvements.

Developed full-stack features for enterprise web applications using Node.js (Nest.js/Express) and a React/TypeScript front end. Built RESTful APIs using Nest.js with clean architecture and SOLID principles, modeled relational data with Prisma and PostgreSQL, and implemented secure JWT authentication with role-based access control. Added request validation via typed DTOs, improved observability with structured logging and centralized error handling, and integrated event-driven background processing using AWS SQS/SNS. Contributed to CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and reduced regressions through unit/integration testing with Jest and Supertest; worked collaboratively in Agile with sprint planning and code reviews.
