Hi, I’m Shirel Pinker. I’m a backend and full-stack engineer who loves turning ideas into clean, scalable software. I specialize in Node.js, TypeScript, and modern frontend frameworks, and I enjoy solving performance and reliability challenges. I’m driven by building robust systems and delivering value quickly through well-architected code and thoughtful automation. In my recent roles, I built AI-assisted workflows and optimized media processing pipelines. I’ve delivered end-to-end features with authentication, token-based sessions, background processing, and cloud storage integration, while continually improving delivery velocity and code quality.
