Abdur RahmanSami, to most people.
Software engineer. I build the services a request passes through, and I stay on call for them in production.
01 · api-gateway · routed
Three years behind the gateway.
I've been a backend engineer for 3+ years, working on microservices and production applications. Most days I live in Node.js, Express.js, SQL and Redis: designing APIs, caching them, securing them, and debugging them once they meet real traffic.

04 · course-svc → postgres · query ok
Four services out of nine.
I built and maintain 4+ backend microservices in a 9+ service architecture, using Node.js and Express.js.
The biggest of these is the Course Management System v3, which I built end to end on Node.js, Express.js and PostgreSQL. I designed its REST APIs and the relational data workflows behind core course functionality.
