I'm Paul Gherghel, a Software Engineer focused on performance optimization and scalable systems. I love building high-performance, reliable systems and solving complex distributed problems across the full stack, cloud infrastructure, and data layers. I have a track record of speeding up MongoDB queries by 94% and engineering secure authentication layers for production environments. Most recently at MEDIQSYS, I built an OAuth authentication layer with Nginx over HTTPS, created a full-stack admin dashboard in React/Node.js for granular role management, and streamlined deployments via Docker and Unix-based VMs, while maintaining 99%+ system reliability through proactive incident management and impact assessments.
