Hey, I'm Alvin Mike πŸ‘‹ | @vrxmike

Fullstack Software Engineer (Backend-Specialized) | DevSecOps | AI Systems

Building scalable, secure, cloud-native applications β€” from low-level systems to cyber-hardened backends and production platforms.

🌱 About Me

  • Full-Spectrum Systems Engineer: Architecting resilient REST and GraphQL backend APIs using FastAPI and Node.js, engineered for high availability, security, and performance. Designing and deploying high-traffic infrastructure leveraging Nginx, Gunicorn, and Load Balancers, ensuring robust traffic management, efficient resource utilization, and system reliability at scale.
  • Low-level & Unix Foundations: Advanced skills in C, memory management, and Linux systems, strengthened by Bash/Shell scripting and expert version control (Git, Vim, Emacs).
  • Reliability & System Design: Engineering scalable Python services with strong OOP, SQLAlchemy ORM, TDD, and comprehensive unit/integration testing.
  • DevSecOps & Cloud Security: Building cyber-hardened GCP environments, automating secure CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Docker), managing configs with Puppet, and implementing SSL/TLS best practices.
  • Modern UI/UX Integration: Integrating robust backends with elegant, responsive React/Next.js frontends and glassmorphic UIs, plus WebGPU-powered AR.
