## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to build secure, scalable backend infrastructure for fintech, SaaS, and distributed products, with ownership of architecture, APIs, payments, authentication, and production systems.
```

## About

```text
I've built backend systems for Blaaiz Innovation Technology, PaddyCover, and DUWITT, covering fintech remittance, insurance, and crypto exchange products. My work includes B2B APIs, payment workflows, authentication infrastructure, and real-time transaction systems.

At Blaaiz, I architected a Laravel 12 B2B API layer for 50+ business partners and delivered card issuance through Bridge Service. I also built Passkeys/WebAuthn authentication, event-driven transaction workflows, granular RBAC, and automated testing with over 90% coverage on critical services.

I'm also the founder and lead backend engineer of ONELY, a live multi-tenant Laravel SaaS for creators and SMEs. I own its product architecture and production infrastructure, including custom domains, tenant isolation, subscription billing, payouts, Cloudflare, queue workers, and self-managed VPS environments.
