What I'm looking for

I seek roles building reliable, scalable backend and mobile systems in fintech/crypto with strong DevOps practices and fast delivery.

I am a software engineer with 5+ years building backend systems, mobile apps, and production infrastructure for fintech and crypto companies. I have built APIs for payments and transactions using Node.js and Go, deployed containerized services with Docker and Kubernetes, and developed Flutter mobile apps serving 10,000+ users.

I led a bill payment fintech platform from scratch to TestFlight beta, implemented Redis caching and rate limiting, and set up CI/CD and production infrastructure on AWS. I focus on reliable systems, fast execution, and solving complex production problems to drive product delivery and scale.
