Backend Development
Secure, scalable APIs and server-side systems with NestJS, Prisma, and PostgreSQL.
Portfolio
Backend & platform systems · production ownership
Building digital systems that last.
I design and build production-grade software — scalable backends, clean architectures, and digital experiences engineered to matter.
Available for opportunities
Design.Develop.Deliver impact.
I combine engineering rigor with product thinking to build modern, accessible, production-ready software.
What I do
“I build software systems, not just websites.”
Secure, scalable APIs and server-side systems with NestJS, Prisma, and PostgreSQL.
Fast, accessible, type-safe interfaces built with Next.js, React, and TypeScript.
Modular monoliths, clean layering, and domain models designed for change.
Docker, GitHub Actions, and automated pipelines that ship to production safely.
Systems thinking
I build modular monoliths with clear boundaries: API routes stay thin, domain logic lives in services, persistence is isolated behind repositories, and cross-cutting concerns (auth, audit, queues, mail) are platform modules — the same shape used by serious product companies.
Feature modules own their controllers, services, and repositories without spaghetti imports.
Shared Zod schemas and DTOs keep frontend and backend honest about data shape.
Migrations, soft deletes, refresh-token rotation, rate limits, and on-demand revalidation.
Health checks, structured logs, queues for side effects, and environments that fail fast.
Shipped with Docker-friendly builds, health endpoints, Redis-backed jobs, and cache revalidation so content updates reach production without redeploying the whole frontend.
Auth uses Argon2id, JWT access tokens, rotating HTTP-only refresh cookies, RBAC, origin checks, validation, and Helmet — security is designed in, not bolted on.
