Backend Software Engineer specializing in Node.js & AWS | Building Scalable Microservices & High-Performance APIs | MongoDB, MySQL, NestJS, Docker

About

With over 5 years of dedicated experience as a Backend Engineer, I architect and build robust, scalable, and high-performance systems that power complex applications. My expertise lies in leveraging the Node.js ecosystem (NestJS) and cloud-native technologies like AWS and Docker to create resilient microservice architectures. I thrive on solving complex performance challenges, such as when I optimized a critical API's response time from 10 seconds to under 2s, directly enhancing the experience for over 1000 daily users. After a planned career break for personal development, I am eager and re-energized to apply my skills to new challenges. My background includes designing RESTful APIs, implementing CI/CD pipelines, and working with both SQL (MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) databases to ensure data integrity and efficiency. I am passionate about writing clean, maintainable code and collaborating within Agile teams to deliver impactful features. Core Competencies: ✓ Backend Development: Node.js, NestJS, Express.js, TypeScript, JavaScript ✓ Databases: MongoDB, MySQL, Mongoose ✓ Cloud & DevOps: AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda), Docker, Microservices ✓ Tools & Methodologies: Git, Jira, Agile/Scrum, RESTful APIs, CI/CD I am actively seeking a full-time Backend Engineer role (Ahmedabad or Remote) where I can contribute to building innovative products. Let's connect to discuss how my experience can bring value to your team.
