My Journey

Over the past year, I have primarily worked as a Backend Engineer at Webnyxa Technologies, leading backend development, enterprise integrations, API architecture, and production system enhancements across multiple client projects — including CopyArtwork, Where's My Job, Manasprint, Docturnal, StemWave, JPetto.io, and LegendarySolutions.io.

As a Backend Developer, I design, develop, deploy, and maintain scalable backend systems across production applications. My responsibilities extend beyond API development into database architecture, business logic, enterprise integrations, AWS deployments, and production support — including JWT/Passport/OAuth authentication, custom WordPress plugins, WooCommerce extensions, queue workers, and cron-based automation.

I focus on maintainable systems over short-term fixes: shared APIs for web and mobile, queue-based QuickBooks sync, isolated multi-tenant databases for Docturnal, and Salesforce as the source of truth for StemWave. Outcomes include launched mobile backends without redesigning live systems, automated accounting and subscription workflows, AI-powered artwork generation, and fully automated clinic onboarding for healthcare SaaS.
