Backend engineer building P2P crypto trading systems at Bibuain Unique Multipurpose Limited, including an automated trade ingestion and FIFO assignment engine.
What I'm looking for
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.
