Architecture before endpoints
I set boundaries, auth, and data models first, then write APIs that stay maintainable as the product changes.
about me
Backend-leaning
full-stack engineer
Full-stack engineer with a backend lean. I focus on scalable, secure systems, and I have led engineering teams while designing server-side architecture, REST APIs, databases, and auth. I also build interfaces in React, React Native, and Tauri, so the person who designs the API can ship the UI that uses it. Core stack: Node.js, Express, NestJS, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and FastAPI, plus React, Expo, and Tailwind on the frontend.
Ship the full path
Backend-leaning, but ready to deliver the React or mobile surface that proves the system works.
Lead with clarity
Sprints, reviews, and docs that help a team move. I learned this leading engineering at Claymore.
