What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote senior backend, DevOps, or lead engineering roles where I can build and operate reliable distributed systems, own infrastructure and delivery, and mentor engineering teams.

I've led backend and infrastructure engineering for CirclePay's group savings and cross-border payments platform, building saga-driven event sourcing, FSM-enforced treasury operations, USDC settlement, and WhatsApp-delivered AI assistance. At DigiDigit-Tally, I migrated a multi-tenant SaaS platform to RabbitMQ-based microservices, reducing downtime by 40% while supporting financial workflows for thousands of SME users.

I've also led Web3 payment-ledger work at Magic Worlds, built workspace-unification services at Stacbase, and progressed from intern to team lead at Perzsi. I enjoy owning CI/CD, containerization, cloud infrastructure, and engineering team growth across fintech, SaaS, and Web3 products.
