Over the past decade, I’ve architected and delivered 20+ full-stack and backend-heavy projects across fintech, SaaS, infra tooling, and developer platforms using technologies like Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, AWS, OpenStack, and Microservices.
I’ve also built internal tools and bootstrapped initiatives, from CLI tools and DevOps automation to internal education programs and backend certifications. I love solving complex engineering problems with clean architecture, clear communication, and a pragmatic mindset.
Recently, I’ve started exploring freelance consulting and product building, helping teams design and scale their backend systems with confidence.
What I bring to the table:
• Backend & Infra Architecture (Monolith to Microservices, Multi-Tenant Design)
• Cloud-Native Development (AWS/GCP), CI/CD & Infrastructure as Code
• API Gateways, Secure Auth (JWT/PASETO, OAuth2, Lambda Authorizers)
• Developer Tooling & Education (Docs, Courses, Internal Enablement)
• Leadership & Mentorship at scale
Open to:
• Freelance or contract-based consulting
• Remote-first tech teams solving hard backend problems
• Collaborations on open-source, devtools, or teaching initiatives
Let’s connect if you're building something exciting, need help with your architecture, or just want to nerd out about clean systems. Show less
