I build scalable Python and .NET microservices as a backend developer and software architect for reliable, secure transactions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a backend developer and software architect focused on scalable, high-reliability systems. I’ve built and optimized microservices, APIs, and background processing—cutting request response times by 40% with a Celery-based async task system and improving checkout latency by ~30% through serializer-based validation.
I’ve also led platform redevelopment and financial architecture work: redesigning legacy systems into microservices with gRPC and REST, building multi-currency wallet and crypto debit flows with transaction safety, and integrating KYC/helpdesk/payment APIs. From high-risk incident recovery to strengthening test coverage beyond 85% and managing end-to-end deployments on Google Cloud, I prioritize correctness, maintainability, and delivery you can trust.
