Senior software engineer and architect specializing in TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS for distributed systems.
United Arab EmiratesWhat I'm looking for
I am a senior software engineer and architect with about 10 years building mission-critical distributed systems in fintech and blockchain. I led architecture and delivery as the first engineer on Chia Network's Cloud Wallet, scaled the product from prototype to a public-facing service used by thousands, and have a strong track record of high-stakes technical decisions across backend services and cloud infrastructure.
I bring deep expertise in TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS, and have delivered greenfield banking and collateral-management platforms, introduced organization-wide technical improvements (TypeScript, SQS FIFO, OpenTelemetry), and designed resilient architectures including PostgreSQL-backed sync services and GraphQL APIs. I thrive in async-first remote teams and focus on observability, operational simplicity, and secure transaction flows.
