• Design and develop robust backend services using NestJS, Node.js, and Fastify with TypeScript.

• Build modern, high-performance frontends with React, Next.js, Remix, and React Router.

• Implement and maintain event-driven systems using NATS + JetStream for real-time communication and Server-Sent Events (SSE).

• Design and optimize data models and queries across PostgreSQL and MongoDB.

• Integrate and manage caching (Redis) and background job processing (BullMQ).

• Develop and maintain RESTful & GraphQL APIs as well as modular microservices.

• Work with Docker, GitHub Actions, and CI/CD pipelines to ensure reliable deployments.

• Collaborate with product, design, and operations teams to deliver inventory, order management, warehouse, and e-commerce features.

• Integrate with third-party services and build scalable, fault-tolerant systems.

• Mentor junior engineers and drive technical best practices across the team.
