At Eraxon, I own the infrastructure and backend systems that keep production running — deploying and scaling containerized applications on GCP and AWS using Docker and Kubernetes, and automating everything from provisioning to deployment with Terraform and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI). I design event-driven microservices architectures with Kafka and RabbitMQ, manage IAM and cloud access across environments, and maintain observability infrastructure to catch issues before they become incidents. On the data side, I optimize MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis for high-performance querying and reliability under load, and enhance throughput further with Redis and Memcached caching layers. I also build secure RESTful APIs and GraphQL services (JWT, OAuth, Passport.js), integrate Stripe and PayPal for payment processing, and implement real-time features using WebSockets (Socket.io) and serverless compute with AWS Lambda and Firebase Functions. A standout project is the Worldwide Obituary Platform — a production system combining AI-generated content, video storytelling, a WhatsApp bot (Venom API) for automated search and event reminders, and PayPal-powered subscriptions, built on a secure, scalable MERN foundation. I mentor junior engineers, lead code reviews, and hold the team to clean architecture and operational best practices.
