I build backend systems that make products scale — and I think about them as a business owner, not just an engineer. Currently leading backend and system design at GlamGuider, a beauty-tech platform serving 30K+ users and 21K monthly actives across web, Android, and iOS. I own API design, system architecture, infrastructure, and cross-team execution across backend, mobile, and AI. What I've built here: • REST APIs powering three client platforms plus internal AI tooling • A loyalty wallet with a transaction ledger and country-specific reward rules • Streak/milestone engagement systems and moderation pipelines handling 11K+ reviews • An affiliate tracking and conversion attribution system for monetization • Infrastructure migration to a scalable stack — VPS, MongoDB Atlas, AWS S3 + CloudFront • Integrations across Firebase, Meta Conversion API, MSG91, AppTrove, Microsoft Clarity I'm currently architecting a Product Comparison & Intelligence System — a queue-driven pipeline for ingredient-level product analysis — and I pitched the insight-driven roadmap behind it. I also run my own business, so I bring cost-awareness and product thinking into every technical decision. I care most about system design, scalability, and shipping things that move the product. Stack: Node.js · MongoDB · AWS · Nginx · System Design (HLD/LLD) Open to backend and product engineering roles.
