Nov 2025 - Mar 2026

Developed and optimized RESTful API services using Node.js, NestJS, and TypeScript, processing 1,000+ daily requests with ~30% improvement in average response time via query optimization, connection pooling, and middleware refactoring. Architected a microservices-based backend with JWT authentication and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), decomposing monolithic services into independent, containerized modules to improve scalability and service isolation. Containerized backend services with Docker and automated build, test, and deployment through CI/CD pipelines, ensuring consistent releases across environments and reducing manual deployment effort. Diagnosed and resolved critical production issues by analyzing API logs and distributed traces, reducing recurring system errors by ~40% and improving overall service stability and uptime.
