As a Freelance Backend Developer at Marcom Engine, I design, develop, and maintain scalable and reliable backend services using best practices for NodeJs, Python, and Microservices. I ensure the high performance, availability, and security of REST API design and architecture and implement Unit Testing and end-to-end testing for code quality assurance.

I architected and designed a greenfield application from inception, delivering a robust and scalable solution tailored to business needs.

I collaborate with clients to understand their requirements and integrate third-party services as needed. I am proficient in using AWS and containerization tools such as Docker and K8s for application deployment and scaling. I create Technical Documentation to ensure easy maintenance and troubleshooting.

I utilize SonarQube, Jenkins, Nexus, and Code Coverage tools to ensure code quality and adherence to best practices. I also implement DI (Dependency Injection) to enhance the modularity and testability of my code. As a Freelance Backend Developer, I play a critical role in the success of the projects I work on and ensure the seamless integration of the backend services with the overall system architecture.
