I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of hands-on experience building and scaling backend systems in fintech, crypto, and regulated payment environments. I specialize in designing secure, high-throughput APIs, integrating complex third-party systems such as AML, IAM, and blockchain, and owning critical services from architecture through production. I am known for strong technical ownership, pragmatic decision-making, and reliability in distributed, remote-first teams.
Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with Python and Django frameworks to build secure and scalable backend services. I have integrated IAM solutions like Zitadel to implement SSO and role-based access control, and developed AML compliance workflows by integrating providers such as Elliptic. I have also built production-grade MFA services with features like rate limiting and audit logging.
My experience includes working on crypto payment and wallet platforms, where I designed and maintained core backend services supporting wallet operations and payment flows. I have developed blockchain-related backend features including Tron staking and transaction orchestration. I am proficient in event-driven architectures using RabbitMQ and have optimized backend performance using Redis and PostgreSQL.
I have led backend development for wellness and retreat booking platforms on a contract basis, designing payment architectures integrated with Stripe and modernizing CI/CD pipelines using AWS ECS and GitHub Actions. I have also contributed to BNPL platforms by developing backend APIs and serverless components using AWS Lambda.
Previously, I built and maintained trading and settlement APIs for a major cryptocurrency exchange, improving throughput and developing risk monitoring dashboards. I also engineered backend systems for an internal HR automation platform used by thousands of users, reducing reporting turnaround times significantly.
I am passionate about leveraging modern backend technologies and cloud services to build reliable, scalable, and secure systems. I thrive in remote-first environments and enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful software solutions.
