Backend-focused. Built on real practice.

I focus on backend development with Node.js and TypeScript, building secure APIs, authentication flows, database integrations, and maintainable services.

I can implement React interfaces from a team's UI/UX design. I also have working knowledge of Python, FastAPI and data analysis, and practical exposure to Docker, CI/CD and Kubernetes-related delivery.
