Backend Software Engineer
Backend-oriented Software Engineer with 2+ years of professional experience building APIs and backend services using Node.js, TypeScript and NestJS, with a strong focus on clean architecture, scalability and maintainability.
I currently work with cloud-native and serverless solutions on AWS, gaining hands-on experience with services such as SAM, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, SQS, Step Functions, Event Bridge, DynamoDB and EC2, as well as CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and containerization with Docker.
My primary focus is backend development, microservices and API design, while also having frontend experience with React and Next.js to support end-to-end product delivery and effective collaboration with frontend teams.
I am a continuous learner, motivated by building reliable software and adding real value to teams and products, especially in environments that embrace modern backend architectures and cloud technologies.
