You will get a MySQL performance audit and optimization for your Node.js application
Project details
Is your Node.js application slowing down under load? Timeouts, latency spikes, and degraded performance are often caused by unoptimized MySQL queries running full table scans on large datasets.
I specialize in diagnosing and fixing exactly this. In my last production engagement, I identified missing composite indexes on a 10 million row banking table and reduced query time from 3 seconds to 180ms with zero downtime and no data migration required.
What you get is not a generic report. You get a precise diagnosis using EXPLAIN ANALYZE, a targeted index strategy designed around your actual query patterns, covering index usage where applicable, and implemented fixes with before and after metrics.
I have 7 years of backend engineering experience delivering production systems for enterprise clients including AU Small Finance Bank and Unilever. I hold an MBA in Finance which means I understand the business impact of database performance, not just the technical side.
If your API is slow and MySQL is involved, I can find the problem and fix it.

About Nikita
Backend Engineer Node.js Scalable APIs Microservices Kafka Systems
Jaipur, India - 7:39 am local time
My last production fix: a MySQL query running 3 seconds in a high-traffic banking API. Identified missing composite indexes, rewrote the query plan, brought it to 180ms. Zero downtime, no service disruption. That is the kind of ownership I bring.
For 7 plus years I have worked as a backend engineer and technical lead at Accenture, delivering production systems for Nestle, Maruti Suzuki, AU Small Finance Bank, Unilever, and Shoppers Stop across Banking, FMCG, Retail, and Automotive domains.
What I own end-to-end:
→ Node.js + TypeScript microservices architecture and API design
→ Kafka-based event-driven pipelines and async processing at scale
→ MySQL performance tuning — slow queries, indexing strategy, execution plans
→ Redis caching layers — session management, rate limiting, idempotency
→ Docker/Kubernetes deployments on AWS and Azure
→ Technical leadership — architecture reviews, code standards, team mentoring
I work best with product companies and startups that need a senior engineer who can operate independently, make architectural decisions, and deliver without hand-holding.
Available now. 30 plus hours per week. Open to both project-based and ongoing contracts.
