What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build resilient, high-throughput backend and payment systems where I can solve distributed systems challenges, improve reliability and performance, and help teams deliver secure, scalable production infrastructure.

At Mastercard, I build high-throughput payment infrastructure for global transaction volumes, improving performance, operational resilience, and continuous availability.

I've scaled backend microservices, optimized payment routing, and implemented automated failover designed to preserve data integrity and prevent transaction loss during network disruptions. My work has improved transaction processing speed by 45% and reduced downtime by 60%.

Previously at JPMorgan Chase, I modernized wire transfer systems handling more than three million transactions monthly, embedding automated risk, fraud, sanctions, and compliance validation into live payment pipelines.

At OkCupid, I built Dealbreakers in the core matching engine, adding advanced compatibility filtering that improved user match quality by 70% while maintaining scalable search performance.
