About

I am a dynamic and results-driven backend engineer and team lead with a passion for building secure, scalable, and high-performance applications. I specialize in Node.js/NestJS (TypeScript) for modular microservices and RESTful APIs on PostgreSQL and MongoDB, and I also work with Laravel and Python, including fintech integrations like Stripe, Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, and internal wallets. I bring a strong DevOps mindset with Docker, CI/CD (GitHub Actions), and Linux server administration to ensure reliable deployments and performance. I design with clean architecture and API documentation in mind, and I enjoy collaborating with frontend, UI/UX, and product teams to deliver production-ready solutions with an emphasis on code quality, testing, and scalability.
I lead cross-functional teams through Agile methodologies (Scrum), mentor junior developers, and align technical decisions with business priorities. I excel at translating complex technical concepts for diverse stakeholders, driving continuous improvement, and delivering secure, maintainable software in fast-paced environments.
