I started as the person who'd rather fix the bug than just report it that instinct turned into a career building backend systems that actually hold up in production. At Red Health, I rewrote a task management microservice that was breaking under real-world load, resolved 10+ critical bugs, and watched response times drop by 35% because I refused to ship something I wouldn't trust myself. I work primarily in Node.js, TypeScript, and Java, with hands-on experience across AWS, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis but what I actually bring is the habit of asking 'will this hold up at 3am when no one's watching?' before I call something done. I'm looking for a backend-focused role (open to full-stack) where ownership matters more than ticket count, ideally on a small team where my code reaches real users fast, and where I can keep growing into stronger system design and architecture decisions.
