Staff/Lead backend engineer turning regulatory and scalability challenges into reliable payment and banking platforms.
What I'm looking for
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.
