What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own backend architecture end-to-end—shipping compliant fintech/AI systems, improving performance and reliability, and collaborating across product to deliver measurable outcomes.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 6 years of experience designing and shipping production systems across fintech, banking, edtech, and AI/ML. I specialize in backend architecture and full-stack delivery—owning systems end-to-end, making sound architectural trade-offs under compliance constraints, and driving measurable outcomes like a 25% transaction success uplift and ~30% faster response times.

In regulated environments, I’ve built IFRS 9 credit risk model execution platforms and credit risk assessment services with robust logging, validation layers, RBAC, and audit-friendly workflows. I also deliver AI/LLM-powered product features—like an AI resume optimization engine—while integrating scalable data pipelines, secure authentication, and cloud infrastructure to keep systems reliable in production.
