Technical Expertise

Deep hands-on experience across the full stack of modern enterprise software — from distributed architecture down to database query tuning.

Architecture

Designing systems that scale, survive real-world load, and remain maintainable as requirements evolve.

Distributed Systems

Designing and reasoning about systems that span multiple processes, machines, and data centers — with a clear eye on consistency, availability, and failure modes.

Microservices

Service decomposition, inter-service communication patterns, contract design, and avoiding the organizational and operational pitfalls that make microservices painful.

Event-Driven Systems

Building asynchronous, event-based architectures using message queues, event streams, and pub/sub patterns — including event sourcing and CQRS where appropriate.

REST APIs & System Integration

Designing clean, versioned, and well-documented APIs. Integrating heterogeneous systems without creating brittle coupling.

Languages & Frameworks

Primary development languages and the ecosystems surrounding them.

JS

JavaScript

Frontend development and Node.js backends. Practical experience with modern JS tooling without chasing every framework trend.

SQL

SQL

Complex query writing, schema design, indexing strategy, and query plan analysis across SQL Server and PostgreSQL.

Data Systems

Relational, caching, and search — picking the right store for the job and using it well.

SQL Server

Schema design, stored procedures, indexing, execution plan optimization, and high-availability configurations for enterprise SQL Server deployments.

PostgreSQL

Advanced PostgreSQL features including JSONB, full-text search, CTEs, window functions, and performance tuning for high-throughput workloads.

Redis

Caching strategies, session storage, pub/sub messaging, rate limiting, and distributed locking patterns using Redis.

Platforms & Infrastructure

Cloud platforms, containers, and the operational tooling that keeps complex systems running.

AWS & Azure

Deploying, scaling, and managing workloads on both major cloud platforms. Practical experience with compute, storage, networking, managed databases, and serverless services.

Docker

Containerizing applications and writing production-ready Dockerfiles for consistent, repeatable deployment across environments.

Linux

Server administration, scripting, process management, and working comfortably in Linux-based production environments.

CI/CD Pipelines

Designing and maintaining build and deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, and similar tools. Automated testing, staging workflows, and deployment gates.
