Led the architecture design and implementation of scalable backend services using Node.js and microservices patterns, ensuring high availability and fault tolerance for mission-critical applications. Drove technical discussions and conducted code reviews to establish best practices for API design, database optimization, and system performance across engineering teams. Mentored junior engineers and interns on software development fundamentals, clean code principles, and modern development workflows. Collaborated with cross-functional teams to define technical requirements and deliver robust solutions aligned with business objectives. Architected and developed a comprehensive logging and monitoring service using the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), reducing troubleshooting time by 50% and enabling real-time system health visibility. Redesigned the scheduling microservice architecture, implementing event-driven patterns and optimizing database queries, improving system reliability by 40% and significantly reducing server load and resource consumption. Rearchitected the Redis caching infrastructure for the Ollivate project by optimizing data structures and implementing efficient TTL policies, reducing memory usage from 6GB to 0.2GB, lowering AWS ElastiCache costs by 75%, ensuring database consistency, and achieving 3× faster response times. Engineered a robust database integration layer for MySQL and React-based applications, implementing connection pooling and query optimization techniques that resulted in a 4× improvement in API response times for critical services. Delivered multiple full-stack features using Node.js, Angular, and React, reducing project delivery time by 25% through streamlined development processes and modular architecture. Worked closely with product stakeholders to gather requirements and implement iterative improvements that enhanced system usability and performance.
