Project – HRMS SaaS
Role: Backend Engineer working on core modules of a multitenant HRMS product. Took
ownership of backend services, implemented scalable microservices, and delivered high-
impact features focused on performance, security, and clean architecture.
Microservices & Scalable Architecture
•Developed and maintained 5+ microservices (Admin, IAM, Attendance, Scheduler,
Notifications, Employee) using Node.js, NestJS, TypeORM, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB.
•Utilized Express.js middleware alongside NestJS framework for flexible and efficient
backend request processing.
•Built a secure, modular multi-tenant architecture with schema isolation to support
50+ client organizations.
•Implemented JWT-based authentication, encrypted passwords using bcrypt, and
enforced RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) for secure API access.
Applied TypeScript with OOP principles (encapsulation, abstraction) and followed
•
SOLID principles for clean and maintainable backend systems.
Integrated Kafka and RabbitMQ for real-time task queues and event-driven
•
workflows.
Integrated REST API and GraphQL for efficient data delivery, enabling high-performance
•
and flexible communication between services and clients.

•
accurate shift tracking.
Automated leave approvals, job triggers, and policy updates, reducing manual ops by
•
60%+.
API, Performance & Optimization
Reduced GraphQL API latency by 40% via query optimization, indexing strategies, and
•
efficient joins.
Integrated Redis caching to optimize response times and reduce database load.
•
Lowered AWS RDS costs by 20% by optimizing batch queries and connection pooling.
•
Collaboration, CI/CD & Code Quality
Collaborated via Git + Bitbucket, using Git Flow and pull requests to ensure conflict-
