Bio: Backend Tech Lead · Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS · PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis · building ToolsZone.net and other independent products
Profile README:
Backend engineer building Node.js and TypeScript systems since 2018, currently a Backend Tech Lead in iGaming. I care about clean backend architecture, real-time systems, and code that stays testable as it grows — I've built everything from custom TCP protocols for smart home devices to a config-driven slot game engine where a JSON config becomes a working casino game.
