HELLO, I AM NICK
a backend engineer focused on designing scalable, high-performance, and maintainable applications.
ABOUT ME
Senior Backend Engineer with over 10 years of experience designing and building web systems. I focus on backend development, domain modeling, and long-term maintainability. I work closely with product and stakeholders to translate business needs into well-structured, reliable technical solutions. I value clean system design, clear ownership, and software that evolves safely as products grow, applying principles of Domain-Driven Design where appropriate.
I use PHP, Python, and Go to build backend services that are fast, reliable, and easy to maintain. I rely on Linux and Nginx to run applications smoothly and handle traffic efficiently.
I develop scalable web applications using Laravel, Symfony, Flask, and Django, structuring projects so they can grow without breaking and adapting easily to new requirements.
I design and maintain PostgreSQL and MySQL databases for reliable, high-performance data storage, ensuring queries are fast and applications stay responsive under heavy load.
I deploy applications using AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm, automating processes so releases are fast, reliable, and repeatable.
I structure software with SOLID principles, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), CQRS, and good data modeling, creating systems that are easy to understand, maintain, and extend over time.
I use Redis to speed up applications, manage queues, and store temporary or frequently accessed data, reducing database load and improving user experience.
I implement RabbitMQ and Kafka to build event-driven systems, decouple services, and handle high-throughput data pipelines reliably, ensuring resilient communication between services.
I use Git for source control, enabling efficient collaboration, code review, and release management.
