What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead backend and distributed-systems work in payments or regulated domains, owning architecture through production outcomes, partnering cross-functionally, and building reliable platforms that scale without degrading experience.

I’m a Staff / Lead Backend Engineer with nearly a decade of experience turning complex regulatory, operational, and scalability challenges into reliable products across payments, banking, and insurance.

I own problems end to end—from ambiguous business need and architecture through cross-functional delivery, rollout, and production outcomes—so platforms protect continuity and improve customer and employee experience.

As Tech Lead / Senior Backend Engineer at Innotech, I modernized a legacy payment platform into scalable Java/Spring services, converting evolving regulatory obligations into production capabilities delivered on schedule and keeping critical payment operations available throughout change.

Previously at VTB Bank, I reframed slow corporate-card issuance into an end-to-end workflow and led a small engineering and design team, replacing fragmented manual approvals with an integrated back-office product that delivered an order-of-magnitude improvement in processing speed. Earlier at RESO-Garantia Insurance, I automated insurance pricing, validation, contract-generation, and compliance workflows, more than halving compliance-check processing time.
