At Deel, one of the world’s leading payroll and compliance platforms, I played a key role in building and scaling back-end systems that power the company’s global payroll platform, used by thousands of distributed teams across 150+ countries. As part of the engineering organization behind a top-tier SaaS product, I worked on complex, high-scale systems that support onboarding, payroll processing, compliance, invoicing, and HR automation–all in a fully remote, globally distributed environment.

In my article “Creating a RESTful Web API with Node.js and Express.js from scratch,” I guide readers through a hands-on, from-zero tutorial on building a fully functional REST API, demonstrating the “how” and the reasoning behind the architecture and best practices.

For over 8 years, I’ve been an active member of Stack Overflow, contributing to questions and answers related to topics such as JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js. I treat the platform not just as a Q&A site, but as an ongoing public logbook of real-world problem solving, collaboration, and continuous learning.
