What I'm looking for

I seek roles building reliable, high-scale fintech or payments infrastructure where I can drive architecture, improve developer experience, and deliver measurable performance and security gains.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 9+ years of experience building fintech infrastructure, payments systems, and trade finance platforms using Python and Node.js. I design microservices and event-driven architectures, implement resilient APIs, and deliver high-availability systems with CI/CD, Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes.

I have built payments and embedded banking solutions that process billions annually, developed developer SDKs and interactive API portals, and created ML-driven fraud detection reducing client losses. I prioritize reliability, performance optimization, and developer experience to drive measurable business outcomes.
