Hi, I’m Maryam Jalil, a backend engineer based in Berlin, Germany with 5 years of professional experience designing, building, and maintaining scalable backend systems using Node.js, NestJS, and TypeScript. I enjoy crafting robust REST and GraphQL APIs, shaping microservices architectures, and building database-driven applications that power product features. I’m a collaborative teammate who loves delivering reliable, well-tested software in product-focused environments. In addition to hands-on development, I work with Docker, AWS, and CI/CD pipelines, and I’m committed to automated testing and code quality. I’m comfortable in agile teams and am always eager to take on new backend challenges. I’m fluent in English and actively improving my German (B1); I’m currently exploring opportunities in German-language product teams.
