ENGINEERING PHILOSOPHY
"I don't clone tutorials. I finish production-ready projects — from database schema design to deployment pipelines."
# QUICK ENGINEERING SNAPSHOT
Focus: Backend & Systems Engineering
Track Record: Built 4 Production-Ready Applications
Volume: 10,000+ Lines of Clean Code
Core Stack: Node.js · Express · PostgreSQL · Prisma · Docker · Cloudinary
Core Domains: Authentication · CI/CD · System Architecture · Performance · Security
Current Role: Joint Tech Lead @ IEEE SFIT
Target Role: Software Engineering / Backend Engineering Internships (2026)| Technology | Architectural Decision & Trade-Off |
|---|---|
| Node.js + Express | Event-driven, non-blocking I/O for async file streaming and API routing. |
| PostgreSQL | Relational data integrity and indexed constraints for nested folder structures. |
| Prisma ORM | Type-safe database queries, auto-generated migrations, and SQL injection defense. |
| Cloudinary CDN | Offloaded binary file hosting to global CDN with signed URL verification. |
| JWT + Google OAuth | Stateless user authentication designed for horizontal scalability. |
| Docker | Isolated container build environments guaranteeing dev-to-prod consistency. |
+ $ ./run --project=datastock --mode=featured
A Google Drive clone — but the hard parts weren't skipped
DataStock Interactive Demo — Drag & Drop Upload, Nested Folder Navigation & Search
status: production
uptime: live on Vercel + Render
hard_part: arbitrarily-deep folder trees in
PostgreSQL — breadcrumbs, drag-drop
moves, and search all stay consistent
without recursive-query blowupShipped features
Stack
Building next: AI-powered file search · team collaboration · version history · real-time sync |

Key Engineering Highlights:
- Problem: Tutorial cloud-storage apps store flat arrays in MongoDB. Real platforms require nested folder hierarchies, cascade deletions, and fast path resolution without N+1 query degradation.
- Solution: Designed a layered Express backend with Prisma ORM on PostgreSQL. Built an iterative folder-path algorithm, Cloudinary signed-stream uploads, and JWT middleware across 18 protected REST routes.
- Full Architecture & ERD: Available in the DataStock repository.
