01 — About

Engineering the systems
behind the product.

Backend developer with 7+ months of professional experience designing, building, and deploying scalable RESTful APIs and real-time systems.

Proficient in Node.js, Express.js, MySQL, Redis, Prisma, Socket.IO and TypeScript, with hands-on expertise in JWT authentication architecture (RS256 token rotation), role-based access control, database schema design, and containerized deployment with Docker.

I've independently designed and shipped production-grade full-stack applications — an enterprise e-commerce platform, a real-time chat backend, and a user authentication service — writing clean, well-tested, maintainable code that follows REST best practices and sound engineering principles.

Based in Chennai, India · B.E. Computer Science & Engineering, Anna University.
