From music production to a Full-Stack Developer with a strong focus on backend engineering, building clean, scalable, and secure web applications using modern technologies.
My development journey has been driven by curiosity, a commitment to continuous learning, and a passion for solving real-world problems. I began in frontend development with a drag and drop web builder, crafting intuitive and responsive user interfaces, and gradually transitioned into writing of codes and switching to backend engineering, where I now specialize in designing and maintaining reliable APIs and server-side systems.
Backend Expertise
I have experience building and maintaining production-ready systems with a strong emphasis on performance, security, and maintainability, including:
- RESTful API design & architecture
- Authentication & authorization systems
- Database modeling & data integrity
- API performance optimization
- Rate limiting, caching, and scalability strategies
- Secure protected endpoints and data handling
- Third-party API integrations
- Client–server communication & security best practices
Technologies
I currently work with and continue to deepen my expertise in:
- TypeScript
- Express.js
- Node.js
- Render
- PostgreSQL
- MongoDB
- Redis
- Resend
- Arcjet
In 2026, my focus is on mastering backend engineering best practices and system design while building robust, scalable APIs that meet real business needs.
How I Work
I’m highly practical in my approach—what I learn, I apply immediately to real projects. I value clean code, clear communication, and collaboration, and I enjoy working in teams that care about quality and long-term impact.
Beyond technical contributions, I’m passionate about mentorship and knowledge sharing, supporting junior developers, and fostering environments where people grow together.
Interests & Personality
Outside of coding, I enjoy mobile games, table tennis, soccer, instrumental music, reading, drawing, technology, sports cars, and fashion. These interests help keep me balanced, creative, and energized.
Current Work & Opportunities
I’m currently building the future at RentalWave and am open to full-time roles, contract work, and freelance opportunities where I can contribute meaningfully and grow with a strong team.
If you’re building a product and need a reliable engineer who cares about quality, impact, and collaboration, feel free to reach out or book a 10-minute discovery call.
