Backend Engineer | Node.js & API Development
Backend Engineer focused on designing structured REST APIs and production-ready backend systems using Node.js, Express and containerized deployments.
I am a Backend Engineer focused on building production-ready REST APIs using Node.js and Express.
My work follows a layered architecture (routes → controllers → services) to enforce clear separation of concerns and long-term maintainability. I design RESTful APIs with structured resource modeling, authentication flows, and persistent data layers.
I developed a billing system used by a real commercial business, implementing secure cookie-based authentication and Firestore for data persistence.
On the infrastructure side, I manage a self-hosted VPS environment using Docker Compose and Traefik as a reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS certificates via Let's Encrypt. Deployments are automated through GitHub Actions, which connects via SSH to execute remote deployment scripts.
My focus is on maintainable backend systems, infrastructure ownership, and real-world deployment practices.
Production-ready billing system backend built with Express following a layered architecture (routes, controllers, services). Designed structured REST endpoints, implemented secure cookie-based authentication, and integrated Firestore for data persistence. Deployed on a self-managed VPS using Docker and automated with GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline.
Self-managed VPS environment designed to host containerized backend services. Configured Docker Compose for multi-service orchestration and Traefik as a reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS certificates via Let's Encrypt. Implemented SSH-based deployment automation triggered by GitHub Actions.
A practical overview of how I deployed a production-ready Node.js backend to a Linux VPS using Docker, Traefik, and GitHub Actions CI/CD — covering architectural decisions, security layers, and lessons learned.
