About Me

I design and ship clean, testable backends and queue-based data pipelines for high-traffic products. Hands-on with Redis, RabbitMQ, Node.js parsers, Socket.io, and Laravel API gateways, I build secure RBAC/SSO backends with CI/CD and automated tests.

My experience spans telematics ingestion & IoT SIM management, municipal platforms, and marketing tech products. Recently, I have also focused on building end-to-end React Native mobile applications, covering the full lifecycle from development to App Store/Play Store release.
