## About Me

I am a Senior Fullstack Engineer with 8 years of experience building scalable, distributed cloud systems across fintech, payments, and communications industries.

I specialize in designing and implementing public APIs and extensibility platforms using Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, and MongoDB. I focus on delivering secure, performant backend services that can scale reliably.

I also build fast and user-friendly interfaces using React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS, including both server-rendered and client-rendered applications. I enjoy working across the full stack to create complete product experiences.

I have led end-to-end backend projects, from architecture and data modeling through deployment and observability. I work closely with product, design, and cross-functional engineering teams to build user-centric platforms.

My background includes cloud-native development, containerization, CI/CD, database optimization, and integrations with external payment and communication services. I have also contributed to engineering culture by improving reliability, performance, documentation, and developer productivity.

I thrive in remote asynchronous environments and take initiative in solving complex technical problems. I value clear communication, strong collaboration, and continuous improvement in both systems and team workflows.
