I’m Joy Dey — a backend-focused software engineer passionate about building scalable, reliable, and user-centric digital products.

Beyond coding, I explore distributed systems, open-source technologies, and new ways to build better software. I believe great products come from thoughtful engineering, continuous learning, and attention to detail.
