What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level role in payment systems or application support where I can solve production issues, optimize systems, mentor junior staff, and work on ATM/POS/e‑commerce projects within a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am a software engineer specializing in implementation and application support for prepaid and debit card processing systems. I troubleshoot production issues across ATM, POS and e-commerce flows and deliver Level 2 and Level 3 fixes.

At TPS Worldwide I debug complex payment flows, perform regression and system testing, and optimize database code and stored procedures for performance. I have hands-on experience with ISO8583, HSM Thales, MasterCard/UnionPay/FinSim simulators and migration projects such as Phoenix to IRIS5. I also contribute to project implementations including NFC acquiring, customer onboarding and settlement systems.

As a former junior lecturer, I enjoy mentoring colleagues and designing training materials, and I’m eager to take on new challenges that let me combine technical troubleshooting with team development.
