JEFFREY BAIN

I build low-latency distributed systems for reliable, secure real-time platforms.

At Stripe, I designed and operated real-time fraud detection systems under strict latency constraints, migrated critical scoring components to high-performance services, and built event-driven pipelines for high-volume transaction signals. I also led end-to-end development of Radar Assistant, reducing fraud-rule creation time by about 60%.

I've built production backend systems at Teladoc Health, eBay, and Uber, spanning HIPAA-regulated healthcare platforms, merchant services, and real-time dispatch. I focus on reliability, fault-tolerant APIs, distributed workflows, observability, and secure cloud infrastructure.
