Engineering Resilient Backends for SaaS

I partner with US-based startups to build high-performance Node.js architectures. From microservices to secure API design, I build systems that scale with your growth.

My Philosophy

Engineering systems that empower business growth.

I am a Senior Backend Engineer dedicated to the art of building resilient infrastructure. For US-based clients, the priority isn't just shipping code—it's building predictable, maintainable systems that eliminate technical debt.

With a deep focus on the Node.js ecosystem, I help fast-moving teams bridge the gap between "working prototypes" and "enterprise-grade production environments." I don't just build features; I build ownership.

Scalable Architecture

I design systems that don't just work today, but scale to 100k+ users without architectural bottlenecks.

Security-First Mindset

From OWASP standards to encrypted data pipelines, security is a core requirement, not an afterthought.

Performance Optimization

Specializing in reducing API latency and optimizing heavy database queries for seamless UX.

Active Role

Senior Backend Engineer

Stable

Leading the architecture of resilient notification and messaging infrastructure.

  • Architected a multi-channel messaging engine (WhatsApp, Email) with distributed job queues and quota enforcement.
  • Designed fault-tolerant pipelines using AWS SQS/SNS with exponential backoff and dead-letter handling.
  • Implemented high-throughput idempotency layers and visibility timeout management for reliable delivery.
  • Built a provider management system with active selection and failover to ensure 99.9% delivery uptime.
