Engineering Services
Built for Scale

From designing distributed systems to squeezing every millisecond out of your APIs — I bring senior-level expertise to your most challenging backend problems.

Microservices Architecture

Design and implement cloud-native, event-driven microservices systems that scale horizontally. I handle service decomposition, inter-service communication (REST, gRPC, message queues), API gateway configuration, and service mesh setup — delivering deployable, maintainable architectures on Kubernetes.

Deliverables

  • Service decomposition strategy
  • API contract design
  • Kubernetes deployment configs
  • CI/CD pipeline setup
  • Inter-service communication patterns

API Performance Engineering

Turn slow, unreliable APIs into sub-second powerhouses. I diagnose bottlenecks — N+1 queries, blocking calls, missing indexes — and apply proven fixes: Redis caching, async job queues, Nginx edge caching, connection pooling, and database query rewrites. Real results: 16s → 0.8s in production.

Deliverables

  • Performance audit & profiling
  • Redis caching implementation
  • Async job queue setup
  • Nginx optimization
  • Database query rewriting

Cloud & DevOps (AWS / K8s)

Build resilient, cost-efficient cloud infrastructure on AWS. I design multi-AZ setups, configure Kubernetes clusters, automate deployments with GitLab/Jenkins CI/CD, and implement infrastructure-as-code — enabling your team to ship confidently with zero-downtime rollouts.

Deliverables

  • AWS infrastructure design
  • Kubernetes cluster setup
  • GitLab/Jenkins CI/CD pipelines
  • Docker containerization
  • Auto-scaling configuration

Database Optimization

Unlock the true performance potential of your MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. I implement strategic indexing, rewrite slow queries, set up read replicas, configure caching layers, and advise on sharding strategies for data at scale — cutting query times by up to 80%.

Deliverables

  • Query audit & optimization
  • Index strategy design
  • Read replica configuration
  • Redis caching layer
  • Schema review & improvements

Secure Backend Development

Build backend systems that handle sensitive data with confidence. I implement role-based access control, encrypted communications, audit logging, secure authentication flows (OAuth, JWT), and compliance-ready data architectures — suitable for healthcare, fintech, and enterprise use cases.

Deliverables

  • RBAC implementation
  • JWT/OAuth authentication
  • Encryption at rest & transit
  • Audit logging system
  • Security code review

Technical Leadership & Consulting

Elevate your engineering team's capabilities through strategic mentorship, architecture consulting, and code quality programs. I work with CTOs and engineering leads to establish development standards, implement code review processes, and guide teams through complex architectural decisions.

Deliverables

  • Architecture consulting
  • Code review program
  • Engineering standards docs
  • Team mentorship sessions
  • Sprint planning & Agile coaching
