All Experiences (2)

Completed intensive 8-week full-stack engineering training on the MEAN stack, selected for the backend track focused on API design and data modeling.
Shipped 12+ REST APIs with Node.js and Express covering JWT auth, role checks, input validation, and a shared error-handling middleware that cut duplicated error code from 12 route files to 1.
Built 8 Angular screens with TypeScript reactive forms and RxJS state, consolidating 20+ fields into reusable validators and cutting form-submission errors in QA passes.
Designed 6 Mongoose schemas with indexes for auth and CRUD paths, handling pagination and reference integrity for 10k+ seeded test documents.
Owned API verification with a 40+ request Postman collection covering auth, happy paths, and edge cases, plus Git-based review workflow across 30+ PRs.

Backend developer across the full product loop: API design, Postgres schema work, and production deploys serving daily active users.
Led the React (Vite) to Next.js migration across ~15 routes, cutting initial page load from ~2.1s to ~900ms via server components and route-level code splitting.
Migrated backend services from Firebase to self-hosted Supabase (Auth + Postgres + Storage), fixing RLS policies and storage triggers that broke ~30% of writes during cutover.
Provisioned production on Hetzner with Coolify (Docker, preview + zero-downtime deploys), cutting deploy time from ~14min to ~3min and holding 99.5% uptime over 4 months while cutting backend spend from ~$85/mo to ~$12/mo.
Hardened auth and core endpoints with validation and rate limits, dropping 5xx rate on auth paths from ~2.1% to ~0.3%, and documented the GCP migration path (Cloud Run + Cloud SQL) with cost and latency estimates.
