What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior engineering roles building scalable, reliable payment or infrastructure systems where I can lead architecture, mentor engineers, improve developer experience, and deliver measurable product impact in a collaborative, data-driven company.

I am a full‑stack software engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable web applications across startups and high‑growth companies. At Stripe I led payments and Radar improvements — driving a 25% efficiency gain and a 15% reduction in fraud — and built an AI-powered fraud analysis pipeline that reduced false positives and chargebacks.

I design high‑throughput microservices with Go and Java, integrate AI tooling (OpenAI) to boost developer productivity, and create data visualizations that speed insights by 35%. I prioritize developer experience, observability, clean architecture, and mentorship to deliver reliable, high‑impact systems.
