What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities in fintech, distributed systems, or automation-heavy platforms where engineering quality, thoughtful system design, and ownership matter. I’m available for global remote contract or EOR roles with overlap across US time zones.

At Bibuain Unique Multipurpose Limited, I led backend architecture and development for a multi-tenant SaaS platform automating P2P crypto trading operations. I built an automated trade ingestion and FIFO assignment engine integrated with the NoOnes P2P exchange API, using concurrency-safe locking to prevent double assignments.

At Accesstack Solutions, I built the backend for a multi-tenant school management SaaS, including a student progression engine and responsibility-based access controls. I also shipped full-stack features and owned the deployment lifecycle, from Docker builds and database migrations to maintaining 550+ Jest tests.

At Olystique Ltd., I lead engineering across architecture, development, deployment, and product decisions. I’m open to opportunities in fintech, distributed systems, or automation-heavy platforms, including global remote contract or EOR roles with US time-zone overlap.
