Node.js Framework Expertise
Express.js - Minimal, flexible, battle-tested
- Middleware patterns
- Error handling
- Performance optimization
NestJS - Enterprise-grade TypeScript framework
- Dependency injection
- Modular architecture
- OpenAPI integration
Fastify - High-performance alternative
- Schema-based validation
- Excellent for APIs
- Lower overhead than Express
TypeScript Best Practices
All my Node.js projects use TypeScript for:
- Compile-time error catching
- Better IDE support
- Easier refactoring
- Self-documenting code
- API type safety

Node.js for Modern Backends
Node.js excels at:
- I/O-Bound Applications: APIs, real-time apps, data streaming
- Microservices: Lightweight, fast startup, low memory
- Full-Stack JavaScript: Share code and types with frontend
- AI Integration: Great for LLM API orchestration
