What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build secure, high-throughput backend systems, lead migrations and infrastructure improvements, and work in fast-paced fintech or identity-focused teams that value reliability, scalability, and developer productivity.

I am a backend-focused full-stack engineer with hands-on experience building scalable fintech and identity systems that serve thousands of concurrent users.

I have designed and shipped role-based administrative portals, multi-step application platforms with payment and OTP flows, and secure authentication/KYC systems integrating third-party verification APIs.

My work emphasizes performance and reliability: I led migrations (Django to Laravel + Inertia/React), reduced page load times by up to 40%, and implemented production-grade infrastructure with CI/CD, Docker, Celery, Redis, and optimized databases.

I prioritize security, auditability, and developer velocity—delivering audit logs, robust authentication (TOTP, device fingerprinting, JWT), multi-chain wallet support, and extensible architectures that accelerate product-market fit.
