What I'm looking for

I'm open to relocating to Europe and available for EU Blue Card sponsorship. I'm looking to build secure, high-scale fintech systems involving payments, banking integrations, merchant onboarding, APIs, and compliance.

At Nami, I build backend systems for POS platforms, merchant portals, digital receipts, and sales applications using .NET Framework 4.8 and .NET 5–8.

I've engineered 70+ REST APIs for banking, government, and third-party integrations, and automated merchant onboarding with Signit eSignature—reducing processing time from three days to four hours and increasing merchant acquisition by 60%.

I improve high-traffic SQL Server performance, secure distributed microservices with IdentityServer and Ocelot, and deliver regulation-ready fintech systems aligned with OWASP Top 10 and SAMA requirements.
