What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, scalable cloud-native fintech products across payments, lending, and reconciliation, collaborating with product, risk, compliance, finance, and operations teams from requirements through reliable production delivery.

At Affirm, I build Python Flask payment orchestration and credit decision services for BNPL checkout, supporting 1.4 million monthly transactions and real-time underwriting for 120,000 applicants. I also developed a React consumer dashboard that improved page load time by 32% and optimized SQL access patterns to reduce loan repayment processing latency by 41%.

Previously at Tata Consultancy Services, I built Django and Kafka payment reconciliation pipelines handling up to 18,000 events per second, optimized transaction datasets exceeding 500 million rows, and shortened deployment time from 45 to 12 minutes. I enjoy delivering secure, compliant fintech features across payments, lending, AWS, Azure, CI/CD, and production monitoring.
