Lead backend engineer for Node.js/NestJS microservices handling 50k–100k+ requests per month.

Managed AWS infrastructure (EC2, RDS, S3, IAM) with CloudWatch alerting, achieving 99.9% uptime and ~25% reduction in incident response time. Replaced manual deployments with Docker + GitHub Actions CI/CD, cutting release cycles by 70%. Mentored 2 junior developers to shipping features independently.
