During my tenure as a Backend Developer at TGI Software House, I was responsible for designing and implementing highly scalable backend services while ensuring top-notch performance and reliability. I worked extensively with Node.js, Express.js, and Nest.js, leveraging both relational (MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Redis) databases to optimize data storage and access. My role also involved creating RESTful and GraphQL APIs to facilitate seamless communication between services and client-facing applications.

On a broader scale, I adopted a microservices architecture, integrating real-time features with Socket.io and WebRTC to deliver interactive and responsive user experiences. Additionally, I executed critical third-party integrations (Twilio, NodeMailer, Google APIs) to expand the platform’s functionality. Throughout my projects, I maintained comprehensive project documentation, enabling smooth knowledge transfer and effective team collaboration.

A key aspect of my work involved pinpointing and resolving complex issues to enhance application stability and user satisfaction. My experience also included Dockerizing services for improved deployment and environment consistency, alongside thorough testing and debugging with Postman. By leveraging Git for version control, I ensured efficient collaboration in an agile, team-based environment.
