I’m a Backend Developer with 2+ years of experience building production APIs, backend services, databases, authentication systems, admin panels, and cloud infrastructure.

I primarily work with Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, Express.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, and AWS.

I enjoy building systems from the database layer to production deployment, including API architecture, authentication, background processing, third-party integrations, and operational tooling.
