About Me
Hi, I'm Kelvin, an experienced backend-focused software engineer with a passion for building robust, scalable systems. I hold a degree in Computer Science and specialise in designing, developing, and maintaining APIs using JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js. My backend expertise extends to Express.js, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and AWS services, where I focus on creating efficient, modular, and maintainable systems. I am experienced with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tools like Datadog, ensuring the stability and performance of backend services. In addition to my core stack, I have worked with Python and Golang to expand my backend skills, and I excel in enhancing internal tools, optimizing services for scale, and implementing best practices like separation of concerns and DRY principles. I also enjoy mentoring fellow engineers, refining onboarding processes, and contributing to a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence.
