Senior software engineer specializing in high-scale fintech and distributed systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience building high-scale fintech systems at Booking.com, Walmart, and Adobe. I focus on distributed systems and reliability, turning complex business needs into production-grade platforms.
At Booking.com, I developed anti-fraud tooling for payment chargeback fraud on the Booking.com Wallet product—improving chargeback dispute win rate by 15% using ML-based pattern detection and automated evidence collection. I also engineered general-purpose cancellation microservices used across 13 use cases spanning account security, payment fraud, and marketing fraud.
I built low-latency GraphQL APIs serving 100,000+ requests/day at 99.9% SLO, integrating data from 47 microservices with Kafka, ElasticSearch, and MySQL. I lead cross-functional collaboration with teams across Infrastructure, IAM, Payments, FraudOps, Fintech, and Marketing to align priorities and deliver technical outcomes.
I drive engineering excellence through observability and automation—spearheading OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing, integrating Harness for CI/CD, and improving SLO monitoring with Sloth. Beyond enterprise systems, I’ve shipped AI-powered products like PublicUtilFinder.com using MCP integrations and LLM-based agent workflows.
