    About Me

    I'm a specialized Backend Developer with over 7 years of experience focused on server-side applications, cloud architecture, and API development. My core expertise is in Node.js, with additional proficiency in Python and PHP.

    Known for building reliable microservices, implementing robust security measures, and optimizing database performance, I have a track record of developing scalable backend systems that handle millions of requests while maintaining reliability.

    Currently, I'm focused on cloud-native applications, containerization, and serverless architectures. When I'm not coding, I enjoy contributing to open-source projects and sharing my knowledge through technical articles on backend development.
