I'm a Lead Backend Engineer and Product Delivery Manager with over 7+ years of experience in building secure, scalable, and performant backend systems. I specialize in microservice architecture using NodeJS and ExpressJS, with a focus on Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) strategies for optimal frontend integration.

As a Lead Backend Engineer, I’m responsible for designing system architecture, reviewing critical code paths, and guiding teams on best practices for performance, reliability, and security. I work closely with frontend, DevOps, and QA teams to ensure that APIs, services, and infrastructure scale smoothly in production.

In my role as a Product Delivery Manager, I bridge the gap between engineering and business. I collaborate with stakeholders to refine requirements, break down complex features into deliverable milestones, and ensure on-time, high‑quality releases. I’m deeply involved in sprint planning, prioritization, and release management so that the product roadmap aligns with technical realities and user needs.

My backend expertise includes:

• Architecting RESTful APIs and integrating service-oriented architecture
• Session management, middleware design, and caching with Redis
• Distributed systems design with performance and fault tolerance in mind
• Authentication & authorization layers (JWT, OAuth2), and API Gateway integration

In the Web3 & blockchain domain, I’ve built and deployed Solidity smart contracts to Ethereum mainnet, with seamless dApp integration using Web3.js. These experiences connect traditional backend systems to decentralized networks, enabling real-world blockchain adoption.

I also hold a strong interest in cybersecurity. I perform regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments using tools like Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nmap, SQLMap, and OWASP ZAP.

I’m driven by curiosity and precision — always exploring the intersection of backend engineering, Web3, and security. Whether architecting systems, debugging at scale, or mentoring junior engineers, I thrive in collaborative spaces where I can contribute technical leadership and grow alongside passionate teams.
