What I build

The right stack,
at every layer.

Eight years across FinTech, healthcare, government, and retail — solving problems where generic solutions don’t cut it.

Backend Architecture

Clean, scalable server-side systems built with Node.js, NestJS, and TypeScript. Microservices, message queues, and designs that survive load spikes.

RESTful API Design

Well-documented, versioned APIs that your frontend and third-party integrations can depend on. Security-first with OWASP best practices built in.
