About

Building dependable, high-performance web apps

I thrive on simplifying complex product asks into scalable MERN solutions, tuning backends for resilience, and collaborating across functions to turn ideas into shipped software.

MERN craftsmanship

From Mongo data modeling to React interfaces, I own the flow end to end. Socket.io messaging, JWT-hardened APIs, and responsive UI systems are part of my weekly toolkit.

Future-ready systems

I am investing in system design, microservices, Docker/Kubernetes, and Kafka so every solution I ship is ready to scale, observable, and resilient.

Expertise

Where I create leverage

A blend of systems thinking, experimentation, and hands-on execution across the product lifecycle.

MERN product engineering

Build end-to-end features across MongoDB, Express, React, and Node with reliability as the default.

  • Responsive React apps with Redux and Router across desktop and mobile
  • Secure REST APIs hardened with JWT auth and bcrypt hashing
  • Socket.io powered real-time experiences backed by resilient data models

System design & scalability

Expand core products with microservices patterns, caching, and measured performance wins.

  • Compound indexes and aggregation tuning that cut query times by 70%
  • Redis, Docker, and Kubernetes groundwork for highly available services
  • Event-driven thinking with Kafka, WebSockets, and API contracts

DevOps & delivery enablement

Ship confidently with automated pipelines, monitoring, and fault tolerant rollouts.

  • GitHub Actions pipelines for lint, build, and multi-env deployments
  • IaC mindset plus container orchestration fundamentals
  • Observability through logging, metrics, and alerting hooks

Projects

Selected collaborations and results

Each engagement pairs measurable outcomes with maintainable foundations your team can run with.

Connet-X collaboration hub

Live demo

Slowly expanding platform where I am migrating a monolithic core to microservices while layering new capabilities day by day.

Copilot handles the scaffolding so I stay focused on system architecture, design, and quick build/deployment loops—Google SSO, Supabase object storage, MongoDB persistence, Socket.io chat, P2P file transfer, and WebRTC video calls are already live.
