Davit M.

👋 **Hi! I’m a Senior Backend Engineer & Engineering Leader with 13+ years of software engineering experience.** I’ve spent **5+ years in engineering leadership**, including Engineering Manager and CTO roles, while staying hands-on with architecture, development, code reviews, integrations, and production systems. 🚀 **What I do best** I build and scale reliable SaaS products and backend systems using: ⚙️ **Backend:** Node.js, TypeScript/JavaScript, Express, GraphQL/Apollo, REST APIs ⚛️ **Frontend:** React, Redux Toolkit, Material UI 🗄️ **Data & Infrastructure:** MySQL, Prisma, Redis/Valkey, BullMQ, NATS ☁️ **Cloud & DevOps:** AWS, DigitalOcean, Docker, Cloudflare, Nginx, PM2, Jenkins 🔗 **Integrations:** QuickBooks, Xero, Stripe and other third-party APIs 📈 **Engineering:** SaaS architecture, scalability, performance, CI/CD, monitoring and production troubleshooting 💡 **More than just writing code** I can join a project as a hands-on engineer, but I also bring the experience of someone who has been responsible for the bigger picture. I can help you: • Design clean and scalable architecture • Build APIs and complex backend functionality • Find and fix performance and reliability problems • Integrate third-party platforms and services • Review and improve an existing codebase • Improve development, testing and deployment processes • Lead technical decisions and mentor engineers • Take ownership of complex problems from idea to production 🏗️ **From Engineer to CTO** At my previous SaaS company, I grew together with the product—from its early engineering stage to eventually leading an engineering organization of approximately **20 people**. I helped build the initial platform, scale the engineering team and processes, and lead architecture and technical strategy, while continuing to contribute to critical engineering work and production decisions. 🎯 **What I’m looking for** I’m open to projects where you need a **Senior Backend Engineer, Senior Full-Stack Engineer, Tech Lead, or Engineering Leader** who can combine deep hands-on engineering experience with strong product and technical ownership. If you need someone who can **write the code, understand the architecture, see the bigger picture, and take ownership when things get complicated** — let’s talk. 🙂
