What I'm looking for

If you need an engineer to build or scale payment systems—traditional or on-chain—or develop reliable backend and blockchain services, let’s talk.

At E-commerce SaaS Startup, I migrated a monolithic Go server to microservices on GCP and developed shared libraries for authentication, logging, and CDN. I also worked on payment, subscription, billing, and tax services integrated with Stripe and PayPal.

At VegaX Holdings: The Future of Digital Asset Management, I led the Konstellation (DARC) Cosmos SDK chain through mainnet launch and built a DARC–BNB Smart Chain token bridge in Go. I’ve also led blockchain service launches on Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric, and worked on USDC payment flows on Base.
