What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Technical Implementation role at a high-growth startup where I can own complex API deployments and bridge the gap between business and engineering. I thrive in remote-first environments that value technical precision, data integrity, and building scalable systems from scratch. I want to solve deep technical challenges that drive real commercial impact.

Technical Implementation Leader with 5+ years of experience, specialized in bridging the gap between complex business requirements and high-level engineering execution.

Proven track record of delivering 0-to-1 product launches, scaling SaaS operations, and managing high-stakes integrations for award-winning platforms. I excel at diagnosing what others miss from homoglyph character mismatches to silent API failures, ensuring 99.9% system reliability and absolute data integrity.

Core Expertise:

Integrations: Expert-level Stripe Checkout and Shopify API deployments; Webhook debugging and payment reconciliation.
Data Operations: Transitioning legacy workflows to scalable SQL-driven environments (DBeaver), increasing data verification speed by 16x.
Technical Troubleshooting: Root cause analysis through deep-level payload debugging (JSON/XML) and engineering-level ticket authorship.

Tech Stack: Stripe, Shopify, RESTful APIs, Postman, SQL, AWS (Certified), Terraform, Linux/Bash.

Focused on driving commercial success through technical precision and operational efficiency. I speak the language of both stakeholders and developers to ensure seamless, scalable deployments.
