About Me

I'm a software engineer focused on building reliable, scalable backend systems and real-world products.

My expertise lies in backend development, APIs, databases, and cloud infrastructure, with hands-on experience using Node.js, FastAPI, .NET, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS. I enjoy writing clean, maintainable code and solving problems around performance and scalability.

Outside of coding, I create backend and system design content through TalkBackend.
