Backend engineer and tech lead building scalable fintech systems for payments, distributed infrastructure, and high throughput.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Backend Engineer with 6 years of experience in fintech, specializing in banking systems, payments infrastructure, and distributed systems. I focus on designing, building, and optimizing high-performance financial applications that stay reliable under load.
As Tech Lead at Fampay, I led teams to deliver payment-linked systems with messaging + search, and a transaction orchestrator enabling multi-source payments, including partial payments. I also owned core payment services such as a modular KYC system that supports multiple verification methods and partners—removing single points of failure and enabling large-scale migration.
I’ve designed ledger and payment integration systems (including Razorpay integration at FamPay) and built platform components like subscription infrastructure and a raffle lottery workflow. I bring a hands-on, systems-first approach—stress-testing for real throughput, mentoring engineers, and building for scalability in high-volume environments.
