What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior technical roles (Tech Lead/Principal) building low-latency trading, fintech or blockchain products with ownership, strong engineering culture, and opportunities to mentor and scale systems.

I'm a founder and tech lead specializing in building scalable, low-latency trading platforms, fintech products, and consumer mobile apps. I architect full-stack systems and ship production web and mobile products end-to-end.

At my current venture I engineered a real-time trading and analytics platform that reached 15K+ active users, processed 2M+ trades, and handled 100K+ daily API calls with p95 < 200ms. I led architecture across Golang, Java, TimescaleDB, Next.js and Flutter and delivered a 4.8/5 product rating with rapid adoption.

Previously I shipped exchange-branded educational apps, directed frontend trading UIs and core matching engines for crypto exchanges, and contributed across mobile, backend, and infra at ZET, Avatarlife, MPL and Caarya. I'm passionate about performance, observability, and scalable systems, and I enjoy mentoring engineers and improving delivery processes.
