I build scalable, secure fintech platforms for high-concurrency products and complex compliance workflows.
What I'm looking for
I've built high-scale fintech platforms at Jupiter Money, Kotak811, SETU, and JP Morgan Chase & Co., turning complex banking, identity, and compliance workflows into reliable services.
At Jupiter Money, I led engineering strategy for a 12-member cross-functional team and scaled banking onboarding from 1K to 20K daily active users. I also helped decouple the Jupiter monolith, enabling Loans and Credit Card products to scale independently of Savings Account dependencies.
At Kotak811, I architected a metadata-driven, multi-tenant Re-KYC engine so teams could deploy configurable compliance journeys without redeploying core services. At SETU, I built the FD Gateway across SDKs, PWAs, and backend orchestration, while automating reconciliation work and improving eKYC/cKYC performance.
I care about rapid product delivery without compromising architectural integrity, security, or operational health. I build event-driven systems, establish reusable identity standards, and use blameless post-mortems to turn incidents into structural improvements.
