Backend developer passionate about cloud-native and blockchain technologies.
What I'm looking for
As a dedicated backend developer with a BSc (Hons) in Information Technology, I have honed my skills over the past four years, specializing in cloud-native and blockchain/web3 development. Currently, I am working at Qlub, a global fintech company based in the UAE, where I am involved in creating integrations for a Dine-in payment platform. My experience includes working with various payment systems and implementing innovative solutions that enhance user experience and operational efficiency.
Prior to my role at Qlub, I contributed to the success of Arimac-Spades, where I played a pivotal role in developing a Dine-in payments app. My responsibilities included rewriting payment flows and implementing web notifications for transactions. My internship at WSO2 allowed me to work on the Choreo platform, where I focused on API management and service discovery, further solidifying my expertise in backend development.
Throughout my career, I have been an active contributor to open-source projects and have engaged in community leadership roles, showcasing my commitment to knowledge sharing and collaboration. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a challenging environment that fosters innovation and growth.
