Featured Case Study

CloudDrive: 500K Daily Operations at Scale

The Problem

Biztree needed a unified file storage system that could handle 500K daily operations, support multiple SaaS applications, and provide role-based access control with enterprise-grade security. Sub-100ms response times were a hard requirement.

The Solution

I architected CloudDrive as a distributed microservice using NestJS with event-driven processing. It uses AWS S3 for storage, Lambda for thumbnail generation, and BullMQ for async job processing. The system handles peak loads without degradation.

Key Architecture Decisions:

  • Async Processing: BullMQ queues for thumbnail generation and metadata processing
  • Caching Layer: Redis for frequently accessed file metadata
  • AWS Integration: S3 presigned URLs for secure direct uploads, Lambda for image optimization
  • RBAC: Fine-grained permission system with role inheritance

How I Work

Team or Solo

I work with product teams or take ownership of features. Either way, I deliver clean code and reliable results.

Clear Communication

Async-friendly. Regular updates, honest about trade-offs and timelines. No surprises.

Remote-First

Comfortable with US and EU time zones. I adjust my schedule as needed and keep things transparent.

Get It Done

Full-stack work. I don't hand things off halfway. I build, test, deploy, and support what I ship.

About

I build software that needs to work under pressure. Most of my work has been in SaaS, backend systems, and product engineering, where the goal is not just to ship features but to keep things fast, reliable, and easy for teams to work with.

I am comfortable working remotely, collaborating across time zones, and taking ownership from planning to delivery. I have worked as a core team member at product companies and delivered complete systems as a freelancer on Upwork.

I also use AI tools like Claude and Cursor to move faster while keeping architecture, testing, and production quality strong.
