What I'm looking for

Full-stack engineer — TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL. I test like it matters, a habit from 21 years in safety-critical aviation. Most recent: a deployed payments platform — five API consumers, 389 tests, row-level security in Postgres, source public. Remote work from Kuwait (GMT+3) available now, full-time or contract. Japan-based roles from 3 Nov 2026; work rights via spouse.

I’ve built and deployed Zerofayyz Fintech, a Stripe payments platform with an append-only audit log, database-enforced row-level security, four-eyes refund approval, five independent API consumers, and 389 automated tests. I also architect and engineer Gabriel OS, a React and FastAPI AI workstation platform with local-model routing, RAG, safety controls, and roughly 9,700 automated tests.

Before coding full-time: 21 years in aircraft maintenance and program leadership. In Poland I owned the digital systems an 80-person USAFE F-16 depot ran on - I authored the program’s performance work statement, then built the qualification-records, leave-forecasting and onboarding systems that satisfied it. In Japan I was alternate site lead at MCAS Iwakuni; in Oman I built the Microsoft Project system a Kuwait Air Force phase program ran from.
