Projects

Early Start & Passion

Began programming in BASIC at age 13; built foundational skills in logic and problem-solving through rigorous high-school CS coursework. Continuously explore low-level programming, operating system internals, and performance optimizations as personal learning projects.

FinTech & ERP Integration

Delivered secure, scalable backend systems integrating payment APIs, asynchronous messaging (RabbitMQ), and ERP data pipelines—processing 1,000+ transactions per minute with end-to-end encryption and audit trails.

Open Source Contributions

Maintain and contribute to backend-focused GitHub repositories: microservices templates, integration libraries, and performance monitoring tools. Sample projects include a TypeScript-based GraphQL gateway and a performance profiling utility for Node.js microservices.

System Architecture Focus

Designed a cloud-native microservices reference architecture (Node.js + Spring Boot) for a mock e-commerce platform—showcasing event-driven order processing and horizontal scaling. Published a technical blog series on Medium detailing migration from monolithic Java apps to Kubernetes microservices, covering CI/CD, observability, and cost optimization.
