SCROLL TO EXPLORE

Building Secure & Scalable Web Backends

I'm a Junior Backend Developer with hands-on experience in Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, SQL, and REST API development through real-world personal projects. I follow clean-code practices and REST principles to ship maintainable, well-structured backends.

Through my projects I've tackled authentication systems with JWT tokens, OTP flows via Redis & Nodemailer, real-time notifications with Socket.io, and payment integrations using Stripe.

I'm actively looking for Backend / Node.js Developer roles where I can contribute, grow, and build meaningful products alongside a great team. Feel free to reach out!
