Backend Architect | Node.js, Microservices, AWS/GCP | Scaled systems for 100M+ users & 12K QPS | Fixing performance, scaling & reliability issues
I help businesses build, scale, and optimize backend systems for performance, reliability, and growth.
With 12 years of experience in high-growth startups, I’ve designed and operated backend platforms serving 100M+ users and handling 12,000+ QPS. I combine deep hands-on engineering with architectural thinking to solve real-world scaling and performance challenges.
I specialize in:
Fixing slow APIs, high latency, and performance bottlenecks
Designing scalable microservices and distributed systems
Building cloud-native architectures on AWS and GCP
Event-driven systems using Kafka, Redis, and queues
Database optimization (PostgreSQL, caching strategies)
CI/CD pipelines and production reliability
Over the years, I’ve helped teams:
Improve system latency and response times significantly
Scale systems to handle high concurrency and traffic spikes
Increase deployment speed and reduce production issues
Optimize infrastructure for better cost and performance
I don’t just build systems—I solve business problems. Whether it’s improving user experience, handling rapid growth, or stabilizing production systems, I focus on practical solutions that deliver measurable impact.
I’ve worked across fintech, gaming, ad-tech, and e-commerce domains, where performance and uptime directly affect revenue and user experience. I’m comfortable working closely with product and business teams to ensure technical decisions align with business goals.
As a hands-on Engineering Manager, I’ve led and mentored teams while staying deeply involved in system design, critical code paths, and production systems. This allows me to move fast, make pragmatic decisions, and deliver results without overengineering.
If you’re facing scaling challenges, performance issues, or need a robust backend architecture, I can quickly understand your system, identify bottlenecks, and implement effective solutions.
Let’s build systems that are fast, scalable, and reliable.
