What I'm looking for

I’m looking to keep owning end-to-end Python/React product delivery on AWS—architecting high-scale fintech systems, partnering with strong teams, and mentoring engineers while staying hands-on (~50% coding) with performance, reliability, and compliance in mind.

I’m a senior full-stack engineer with 10+ years architecting Python backend services, PostgreSQL data layers, and React/Redux front-ends on AWS for fintech and B2B SaaS platforms. I currently lead a 14-engineer org on a real-time financial product processing ~$500M/month, with end-to-end ownership of Python REST APIs, payments workflows, and customer-facing UI.

Hands-on across Python web frameworks, Django REST patterns, PostgreSQL, Terraform IaC, Docker, GitHub Actions, and AWS. At OneSource, I cut p95 latency 40% and lifted throughput 30%, designed PostgreSQL schemas for high-volume financial data, and shipped 12 customer-facing features (~50%+ coding) while driving deploy success to 99.5%. I’ve also built and scaled microservices and partner integrations (99.95% SLA) and developed security tooling that blocked 200+ defects pre-release and reduced repeat-incident rate 50%.
