About

I'm a highly skilled Full Stack Web Developer with over 10 years of experience building scalable, high-performance applications. My expertise spans JavaScript-based backend technologies such as TypeScript, NestJS, Express, and Node.js, along with modern frontend frameworks including React, Next.js, and React Native. I am proficient in working with both relational and NoSQL databases like MySQL and MongoDB. I have strong experience designing and implementing multi-tenant, microservices-based architectures, leveraging Docker for containerization and Kubernetes for orchestration. My background also includes event-driven systems using RabbitMQ and Kafka, as well as data migration and change data capture (CDC) using Debezium and Kafka Connect. Additionally, I have developed robust authentication and authorization systems, including rule-engine-based RBAC solutions integrated with Kong API Gateway. I am well-versed in OAuth 2.0 protocols, Single Sign-On (SSO), and building custom Identity Providers (IdPs), along with implementing caching strategies using Redis to optimize performance and scalability.
