What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote opportunities in backend engineering, distributed systems, data engineering, and AI engineering, where I can build scalable, practical systems.

I've built backend systems at Kudy Financials, including a RAG chatbot that reduced support response times by 60%, Kudy Kash digital lending, Kudy Points loyalty features, and multi-fund portfolio management services.

I design scalable APIs, microservices, event-driven workflows, and secure financial platforms using Golang, Python, FastAPI, NestJS, Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Kubernetes, and Temporal. My work includes RBAC, KYC automation, risk assessment, recurring subscriptions, and WebSocket notifications.

Previously at IPI Solutions, I led development of Crater365 Page Builder, a SharePoint SaaS adopted by 20+ enterprises, and built backend tools for data visibility and secure API integrations. I also build projects such as TimeSense, a Go scheduling service, and Moneyhound, a fraud detection system.
