About Me
I'm a backend-focused software engineer who builds reliable, scalable web applications with clean, maintainable architecture. I work primarily with Node.js and TypeScript, designing authenticated APIs, real-time systems, and data-driven services intended for production use.
In real projects and startup environments, I've owned backend logic, database design, and deployment workflows, while also supporting frontend features when needed. I'm comfortable working in Linux environments, using Docker, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for modern web applications.
Beyond web development, I've contributed to a large-scale open-source C++ project by leading a port of a game codebase from Source SDK 2006 to 2013. This experience strengthened my systems-level thinking and long-term code maintenance practices.
