Full-stack developer.Cloud-native mindset.

Node.js and TypeScript Node.js and TypeScript are my daily drivers. I build full-stack products with Next.js and NestJS, deploy on AWS with Terraform, and ship with confidence using automated testing, CI/CD , and Prometheus and Grafana for observability. Backed by real Java experience, actively bridging into Spring Boot.

When you immigrate, you lose your delala — the local broker who knows the market and vouches for the deal. Kiray is an attempt to rebuild that trusted broker in software, for newcomers navigating Calgary housing for the first time.

A NestJS and TypeScript backend with tested foundations — accounts and JWT auth, listings with search and caching, and an AWS image pipeline that orchestrates Step Functions, Lambda, and Amazon Rekognition for content moderation. The semantic natural-language search layer is the next milestone.
