Who I am
More builder than talker.
I write backend systems the way most people write frontend — obsessively, until the details are right. Give me a schema and I'll find the index it's missing. Give me an endpoint and I'll ask what happens at ten thousand requests, not ten.
Yeti Jobs is the proof: a job portal I built alone, from the database up. I designed the schema, wrote 50+ REST APIs, wired role-based auth for three user types, and tuned full-text search until it ran at 0.9ms. Then I shrank the Docker image by 74% and load tested it myself, because shipping isn't done until you've tried to break it.
Outside of that, I've spent hundreds of hours on LeetCode — 250+ problems deep — not to collect a number, but because every hard problem taught me to see the shape of a solution before I write a line of code. That's the habit I bring to every system I build: understand it fully, then make it fast.
Selected work
Projects built end to end.
Every project below started from an empty repository. Architecture, database schema, and deployment are all mine.
Yeti Jobs
A production job portal connecting seekers and recruiters
Built the full platform end to end: 50+ REST APIs, JWT with role-based access, and a PostgreSQL schema tuned with composite and GIN indexes that took search latency from 7ms down to 0.9ms. Designed for faults, not just features — load tested to 67 requests per second with zero failures, caught a connection pool leak before production, and shrank Docker images by 74% to buy headroom for scale. Shipped an AI resume scorer and automated CI/CD via GitHub Actions.
StateFlow
A Jira-inspired task manager with drag-and-drop boards
A fully client-side project management tool with a custom undo/redo engine handling 50 or more operations without lag, drag-and-drop boards built on dnd-kit, and full data export to CSV and JSON.
Home Finder
An Airbnb-style rental platform with live maps
My first backend-focused project using the MVC pattern: Passport.js authentication, Cloudinary image uploads, and MapTiler geocoding that turns an address into map coordinates.
Beat Bridge
A vanilla JavaScript music player, no frameworks
A complete audio player built with plain HTML, CSS, and ES6 modules: custom queue logic, a sleep timer, and more than ten keyboard shortcuts, with every setting persisted to localStorage.
