I architect and build scalable web applications using MERN/MEAN stack. Specialized in bridging the gap between Development and Operations using Docker and Cloud technologies. My focus is on creating high-performance, production-ready systems that handle real-world traffic.
With over 9 years of experience in the software industry, I don't just write code—I engineer scalable, resilient systems.
Specialized in the MEAN & MERN stacks, I help organizations transition from legacy monoliths to Cloud-Native Microservices. My expertise lies in bridging the gap between complex business requirements and high-performance technical solutions. Whether it's optimizing a database for millions of records or leading a team to deploy on AWS, I focus on delivering long-term value."
End-to-end application development using MongoDB, Express, Angular, React, and Node.js. I build high-performance, scalable, and secure full-stack solutions — from frontend architecture to backend logic and database design.
Designing and implementing reliable, secure, and well-documented RESTful and GraphQL APIs. Experience with microservices, gateway integrations, and system-to-system communication for enterprise-grade scalability.
Building powerful, data-driven admin systems using Angular or React. Includes advanced features like real-time charts, smart data grids, RBAC authentication, and automation-ready workflows.
Improving application speed, scalability, and responsiveness through caching strategies, code optimization, async handling, and server-side enhancements.
Deploying applications on AWS, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. Ensuring secure, stable, and maintainable environments with automated builds and deployments.
Optimizing legacy systems, improving UI/UX, enhancing architecture, and scaling applications to meet growing user or business demands.
Running Angular and Node.js applications on traditional EC2 instances and EKS clusters resulted in high fixed costs and significant management overhead.
Architected a migration to a Serverless Model. Moved the Angular frontend build to AWS S3 + CloudFront for global content delivery and caching. Refactored the Node.js backend services into AWS Lambda functions using TypeScript, eliminating the need for always-on servers.
Drastically reduced infrastructure costs (pay-per-use model) and removed the operational burden of managing EC2/EKS servers.
Third-party libraries (like DataGrids and MultiSelects) lacked critical features (e.g., specific loading indicators) and were difficult to customize, slowing down the development velocity.
Engineered a highly reusable Shared Component Library from scratch. Developed custom, lightweight DataGrids and Form Controls tailored to business needs with built-in support for async states.
Improved UI consistency across applications, reduced bundle size by removing heavy external dependencies, and accelerated feature development.
Accessing AWS OpenSearch dashboards via SSM port forwarding was complex and not user-friendly for non-technical stakeholders.
Configured a secure Custom URL for OpenSearch and integrated the dashboard access directly within the internal Node.js administration portal, ensuring role-based access control.
Streamlined data access for the product team while maintaining strict security protocols.
