About

I've built backend systems for kolula solutions, Kavelogics, and NETSOL Technologies, delivering scalable Node.js services, REST APIs, and cloud-native architectures for booking, education, and enterprise platforms. At kolula solutions, I architected a multi-tenant serverless booking backend on AWS using Lambda, API Gateway, RDS, and SQS, ensuring zero cross-tenant data leakage. I also integrated Stripe and AWS IoT Core workflows for smart lockers, processing live transactions with a 99.9% success rate. For Nova Scholar and EO Atlanta's Forum OS, I built secure APIs, RBAC, JWT authentication, scheduling, notifications, and event-driven workflows that supported 200+ users and reduced manual coordination by around 30–35%. I'm currently pursuing an M.Eng. in Information Technology at Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences while continuing to build reliable backend products with Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, AWS, and distributed systems patterns.
