Senior software engineer architecting scalable systems and APIs across fintech, e-commerce, and supply chain.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years architecting and delivering scalable, high-availability systems across fintech, e-commerce, and supply chain. I specialize in Python (Flask/Django), React/Angular, Node.js, micro-services, RESTful and GraphQL APIs, and distributed systems—supporting $2M+ monthly transaction volumes while improving efficiency through automation, performance optimization, and infrastructure modernization. I also drive CI/CD adoption and take security and compliance seriously, with experience in PCI DSS.
In my recent work, I architected and shipped Odoo Inventory & Logistics modules at Red Dot Distribution, automating stock/dispatch workflows and delivering a 40% supply chain efficiency improvement. I led a monolith-to-Odoo migration, built ETL pipelines with Dockerized workflows, reduced legacy-support incidents by 70%, and cut PostgreSQL backup execution time from 30 minutes to 2–5 minutes (90% reduction). Across roles, I’ve integrated bank payment APIs with reconciliation automation, implemented async processing with Celery/RabbitMQ, and modernized deployments with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, and AWS—while mentoring teams and improving velocity.
