A Skilled
Backend
Engineer
I build scalable backend systems and digital asset pipelines that power real-world products. Turning complex infrastructure into seamless experiences.
Crafting Digital Experiences
Shineoak : Multi-Vendor E-Commerce
Built the entire scalable backend for this multi-role commerce platform. Architected Node.js & Strapi APIs with PostgreSQL and Redis, powering real-time order fulfillment, role-based access for vendors and delivery partners, and geographic analytics across 50+ countries.
AEM Digital Asset Management
Developed bulk asset upload pipelines and workflow automation using AEM 6.x. Automated metadata extraction, smart tagging, approval processes, and lifecycle management. Integrated Dynamic Media for optimised renditions across 20+ image formats with dispatcher caching that improved delivery performance by 70%.
Trendingz
Backend infrastructure for Trendingz — a trending topics discovery and aggregation service. Built with Node.js and MongoDB to power real-time trending engine, serving 50+ countries with instant topic discovery and analytics.
BEYOND THE
CODE.
I am a Backend Engineer with a hands-on passion for building systems that scale. From RESTful APIs to enterprise-grade digital asset management, my work is driven by performance, reliability, and clean architecture.
Specializing in Node.js, AEM, and AWS, I design backend infrastructure that handles real-world complexity — from multi-vendor e-commerce to bulk asset pipelines serving 50+ countries. I don't just write code; I engineer systems that drive efficiency.
Mission
Building robust, scalable backend systems that power seamless digital experiences at scale.
Vision
Creating infrastructure that is not just fast — but future-proof, maintainable, and secure.
Focus
Enterprise-grade APIs, digital asset pipelines, and cloud-native deployments on AWS.
