What I'm looking for

I'm looking to own real production code in fintech or AI, solving bugs, building features, improving performance, and creating reliable agent workflows with deterministic verification.

I own the codebase inside fintech and AI companies: bugs, features, refactors, and speed. Python, TypeScript, Java, Go, Rust, and C++ on live money systems and agent stacks.

Highlights:

1K to 1M+ trades/hour on a Rust + BullMQ execution path by fixing hot loops, allocations, and queue backlog
200K+ KYC checks/day on self-hosted GPUs (OCR, liveness, face match), on a model trained on 1M+ negatives and 100K edge cases
6-month immutable event replay in under 30 seconds
Deterministic risk engine: consistency, tick scalping, news straddles, cross-account hedging, martingale, grid
C++/MQL broker EA for the last-mile rule check
MCP servers and eval environments where a model has to find the bug, change the code, and pass a deterministic check

I ship real production paths and review every diff. AI accelerates boilerplate, not engineering judgment.

I own the product path: checkout, MT4/MT5 account creation, live equity, rule engine, KYC, payouts. Refactored the metrics path so each trade is read once and rules run once. A Rust + BullMQ execution path took throughput from ~1K to 1M+ trades/hour. C++/MQL broker EA for last-mile checks. Python KYC model runs ~200K checks/day on our own GPUs. Event log replays six months in under 30 seconds.

AI Engineer on an agentic engineering platform: agent workflows, multi-repo coding tasks, embeddings, MCP. Built MCP tools so a model can inspect a real MySQL schema and run read-only queries instead of guessing table names. Wrote eval loops - reproduce a bug, add a feature, refactor a module - scored against a golden patch. Python, TypeScript, Java, daily Cursor / Claude Code.

Client delivery at a software house: bug fixes, feature tickets, and refactors across Python, Java, and TypeScript codebases. Built REST APIs and admin panels for fintech and edtech clients. Fixed race conditions, slow queries, and bad PDF parsing on document upload flows. Code review, unit tests, and performance passes before handoff. Grew from ticket work to owning modules end to end.
