About

// bio

Hey! I’m a backend engineer with 6+ years of experience building fast, reliable, and scalable systems. I work mostly with Node.js, TypeScript, and NestJS, and love designing clean APIs and solid backend architecture that actually makes a difference for the product and the team.

I’ve worked across a range of projects — from startups to more mature systems — and I’m usually the one who not only builds the backend but also builds architecture and takes care of the CI/CD, cloud infrastructure (mostly AWS), and anything needed to keep things running smoothly.

What I’m into:

  • Backend stuff: APIs, system design, performance tuning
  • Databases & caching: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
  • Cloud & DevOps: Docker, GitHub Actions, AWS, GCP
  • Automation & AI: Always exploring smarter ways to build and ship

Lately, I’ve been diving deeper into AI and automation - building side projects, experimenting with tools like LLMs, and learning how to bring more intelligence into backend workflows. It’s a space I’m really excited about, and I’m always looking for new things to try or learn.

Outside of code, I enjoy working on passion projects, connecting with other builders, and finding ways to solve real problems with simple, elegant solutions.
