What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote, async-first work building and operating complex distributed systems, payment infrastructure, and developer platforms. I value iterative delivery, strong engineering practices, architectural ownership, and opportunities to mentor engineers.

At Carrier Assure, I lead six engineers building Python and Node.js/TypeScript services, and refactored a compliance-ingestion pipeline to process 4.4M records per run in roughly 80% less time.

Previously at LeafLink, I architected a greenfield self-banking service and redesigned payment processing around event-driven architecture, CQRS, and Inbox/Outbox workflows. I also built regulated asset orchestration processing millions of events weekly, internal SDKs adopted across engineering, and developer tooling that improved local setup and CI/CD reliability.

I've built and operated distributed systems for ADPList, Open Co, Coco Bambu, Trampolim, and Zerum IT, spanning payments, SaaS, delivery integrations, mentorship, and cybersecurity. I enjoy solving production issues at the SQL, service, and infrastructure layers while mentoring engineers through reviews, architecture discussions, and on-call work.
