At Xsolla, I led the migration of workflow-heavy services to Temporal.io using Go microservices, improving reliability by around 90%. I also designed a capacity optimization system that reduced vendor costs by roughly 30%.

I'm working on UGC as a shared integration platform to unify game entities across products and give teams a single source of truth. I also advised on API strategy for CLI tooling and AI agents, and authored a cross-department feature-delivery process using trunk-based development and Statsig feature flags.

At Loopla (Mas & Pas Limited), I refactored a legacy codebase into a microservices-based monorepo with Turborepo and pnpm, cutting build times by roughly 60%. I also reduced GCP infrastructure costs by about 35% and used Temporal.io with Go to support long-running business processes.

At Easy Crypto, I helped modernize a legacy PHP monolith into Go microservices, improving API response times by around 70%, and worked with the New Zealand Police Department on an Anti-Money Laundering compliance system. Earlier, I designed payment gateway architecture at Raudhah Pay Sdn Bhd and co-founded Odekan Technology.
