About Ebenezer
I help engineering teams build and scale backend systems that are fast, reliable, and cost-efficient. Whether you need to architect a new platform from the ground up, optimize an existing production system, or bring senior technical leadership to a growing team, I deliver outcomes that matter.
With 6+ years of hands-on experience in Node.js, TypeScript, and AWS, I have built event-driven microservices, serverless pipelines, and high-throughput data systems across fintech, blockchain, and retail domains. My work has driven 50%+ infrastructure cost reductions, 75% latency improvements, and 99.9% uptime on business-critical platforms.
What sets me apart is the combination of deep technical execution and leadership experience. I have led teams of up to 12 engineers, owned architecture decisions end to end, and worked across distributed teams spanning 4 countries. I do not just write good code — I help teams move faster, make better decisions, and build systems that scale.
I typically work on projects involving backend architecture, cloud infrastructure on AWS, API design, performance optimization, and engineering team leadership. I am available for remote engagements.
What I work with: Node.js, TypeScript, AWS (Lambda, ECS, SQS, Step Functions, API Gateway), PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis, Docker, CI/CD, GraphQL, Serverless Framework, Claude, Cursor.
