Hi, I’m Sameer 👋

Backend Engineer (Early Career) focused on building production-grade authentication systems, authorization models, and scalable REST APIs.

I build real-world applications with strong backend fundamentals — secure auth flows, clean architecture, and performance-aware database design.
