I build production-grade payments, stablecoin, and sportsbook platforms for global scale.
What I'm looking for
I’m building Phodata.xyz, a live cross-border payments platform for remittance, virtual accounts, global payroll, invoicing, and stablecoin-powered settlement.
I build fintech APIs for fiat-to-crypto orchestration, cross-border payouts, crypto on- and off-ramps, and global receiving and payout rails. My focus is practical, compliant financial infrastructure that is live, production-ready, and designed to scale.
Previously, I led global engineering teams at XGC Software and built sportsbook data platforms for Pro League Network using React, Node.js, Flask, PostgreSQL, AWS, and real-time odds integrations. I also bring deep experience in API architecture, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, KYC integrations, and multi-tenant platform development.
