Background

With over 7 years of experience as a backend engineer and Technical Lead, I specialize in architecting high-availability systems and scalable microservices. My core expertise lies in Node.js, Golang, and MongoDB, with a strong track record of migrating legacy infrastructure to modern, containerized Azure environments using Kubernetes and Docker. I am deeply passionate about optimizing CI/CD pipelines, driving infrastructure as code via Terraform, and mentoring teams to deliver secure, mission-critical platforms.
