What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior backend/cloud role in a mission-driven company where I can design resilient fintech systems, lead engineering teams, and scale AI-enabled automation.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 6+ years designing and delivering high-performance, cloud-native solutions in fintech and enterprise domains. I specialize in .NET Core microservices, RESTful API design, event-driven architectures using RabbitMQ and Redis, and payment-rail integrations, and I combine backend depth with DevOps discipline (Docker, GCP, AWS) to ship resilient, scalable systems.

I have led cross-functional teams from architecture through production, integrated multiple payment rails, and built AI-powered automation pipelines using OpenAI and Grok. I actively mentor engineers, drive clean-code practices, and implement observability and fault-tolerant patterns that reduce incidents and improve delivery velocity.
