About

I don’t just learn backend systems—I think in them. If you’re here for the Michael Scott meme in the banner, stay for the latency. As a Backend Engineer (Class of 2026), I’m less interested in just making code "work" and more interested in how it scales, fails, and recovers. I’m a student of logic who builds with a production-first mindset. [ WHAT I OFFER ] Performance: I target 1-2ms response times via multi-layer Redis caching. I optimize for the user experience, not just the check-mark. Reliability: I use BullMQ to orchestrate distributed workflows. I design for graceful retries and system recovery. Logic: 1810 Max LeetCode Rating. I use DSA as a tool for efficiency, not just a way to pass interviews. Visibility: I use Prometheus for system observability. If it isn't monitored, it isn't finished. [ THE STACK ] Node.js • TypeScript • Express.js • PostgreSQL (Prisma) • Redis • MongoDB • Docker • SQL [ THE BUILDS ] Notlify: Distributed workflow orchestration for complex async jobs. Shorty: High-concurrency URL shortener built for sub-2ms speed. StudyBuddy AI: Secure academic automation using Gemini AI and JWT. I graduate in July 2026 and I’m ready to ship. If you need an engineer who understands that a system is only as good as its weakest edge case, let’s talk.
