What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead payment and compliance backend work—designing secure microservices, REST APIs, and verification workflows, while mentoring teams and improving production stability end to end.

I’m a Senior Full-Stack Developer and Backend Team Lead focused on payment and compliance systems, with 9+ years of experience delivering microservice-based platforms, REST APIs, web applications, and mobile products. I enjoy turning complex workflows into secure, maintainable services that teams can build on confidently.

Since March 2021, I’ve led and built core platform modules using PHP, Laravel, Vue.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, MySQL, MongoDB, and RabbitMQ—always with an eye on stability and production readiness. In my current role, I lead payment-integration backend development, driving backend architecture for transaction workflows and compliance services.

I integrate and maintain payment-provider APIs (including Stripe and Mollie, plus EPS Cards, Unlimit Cards, and Soldo Cards) and design secure REST APIs with asynchronous processing. I also lead KYC, KYB, and KYT verification workflows and AML checks using Sumsub and an internally developed verification system, ensuring the systems support real operational requirements.

Across my career, I’ve owned production troubleshooting, code review, technical mentoring, and release coordination. I’ve worked across backend, frontend, and mobile (Vue, React Native, and Expo), implemented real-time features with WebSockets, and contributed to end-to-end stability improvements through disciplined engineering and hands-on leadership.
