I build high-scale fintech payment platforms with Node.js, TypeScript, AWS, and event-driven microservices.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I've led fintech platform delivery at Vouchgram, building a PCI-DSS-compliant rewards platform that processes Rs. 10 Crore+ annually at a 99.99% transaction success rate. I integrated HDFC Bank and Axis Bank payment APIs, replaced batch settlement with Kafka pipelines for sub-second processing, and helped drive 30% customer growth.
Across Vouchgram, TIC Retail Accessories, Healthians, and telecom billing platforms, I've scaled backend systems with Node.js, TypeScript, AWS, Redis, MySQL, Kafka, and RabbitMQ. I've improved latency, uptime, infrastructure cost, and incident response while mentoring engineers and delivering reliable systems under peak load.
