About Me:
I am a backend developer passionate about building scalable and efficient systems. My expertise lies in Node.js and TypeScript, with extensive experience using frameworks like Fastify. I enjoy doing the complex backend stuff, leaving frontend work for those who love it more than I do.

Key Strengths:

• Backend development with a focus on performance and scalability.
• Designing custom APIs and distributed systems from the ground up.

Interesting Projects:

1. Authentication API
   Designed and implemented an authentication system with features like secure token-based logins, email-verification.

2. Ongoing Projects:

   • Distributed Task Queue System: Building a distributed task queue entirely from scratch, focused on efficient task scheduling, worker management, and fault tolerance.
   • Real-Time Location Sharing App: Tackling the problem of coordinating with friends in separate vehicles, like Ubers, by creating a system for real-time location sharing. This app ensures everyone can easily stay updated on each other’s whereabouts.
   • Redis Database Recreation: Recreating a Redis-like database from scratch, offering functionality for both shell-based and programmatic interactions.

Tech Stack in Current Projects:

• Backend: Node.js, TypeScript, Fastify, Python.
• Real-Time Features: WebSockets and geospatial data processing.
• Frontend: Occasionally using SvelteKit for its simplicity and speed when building UI components.
• Custom Solutions: From scratch implementations for distributed task queues and database systems.
