Backend Engineer | Distributed Systems | Node.js · NestJS · PostgreSQL
Backend Engineer with a strong focus on architecture, system reliability, and business-critical integrations.
I design and build scalable backend systems, event-driven services, and platforms that connect real-world processes with robust software solutions.
I have hands-on experience working on production systems, integrating external platforms, automating core business workflows, and making architectural decisions that directly impact system stability and growth.
Currently expanding my technical depth through formal studies in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science Engineering, with a long-term focus on intelligent systems and data-driven products.
This profile reflects real production work, not tutorials.
-
Backend Architecture:
Microservices, modular monoliths, and event-driven systems built with Node.js and NestJS. -
Critical Integrations:
Government and enterprise integrations using XML, SOAP, and REST, connecting external systems to core business logic. -
Data & Persistence:
PostgreSQL schema design, ORM mapping (Prisma, Drizzle), and consistency-focused data modeling. -
Infrastructure & Reliability:
Dockerized services, AWS (S3, SES), CI/CD pipelines, and production-oriented deployment workflows. -
Frontend as a System Interface:
React / Next.js used pragmatically to support backend workflows, not as isolated UI experiments.
Backend: Node.js, NestJS, Express, NATS, Prisma, Drizzle
Frontend: React, Next.js
Database: PostgreSQL
Cloud & DevOps: Docker, AWS (S3, SES), Heroku, Cloudflare
Testing & Tooling: Jest, Git, GitHub, Postman
Integrations: REST, SOAP, XML
