Backend & APIs (Node.js, TypeScript, Go, Express, REST, Webhooks)
Truth can only be found in one place: the code.
Robert C. Martin

I design backend architecture, systems integrations, and cloud infrastructure for SaaS, logistics, and AI-powered platforms.
Over 8+ years, I have built and operated production systems with Node.js, TypeScript, Go, MongoDB, and AWS, from AI generation pipelines processing 1M+ jobs a month to fleet-tracking platforms handling real-time GPS telemetry.
My focus is asynchronous processing, integration reliability, authentication and authorization, and performance optimization: retries, idempotency, failure recovery, and systems that keep working when third parties don't.
I lead through architecture ownership, engineering decisions, code reviews, and mentorship, and I work closely with product, legal, safety, and finance teams to turn complex requirements into secure, maintainable features.
