Suren Melyan

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with proven expertise in payment integrations, system migrations, and leading technical solutions for fintech and iGaming platforms. I focus on building reliable payment systems, expanding payment options through PSP integrations, and modernizing legacy stacks.

At WA Technology (12/2023 – Present), I led a migration from a legacy PHP 5.6 system to a modern Laravel-based Payments Framework. I also integrated multiple new PSP APIs to expand payment options and architected Lapayo Cashier, a white-label, iframe-embeddable payment checkout system across multiple merchant platforms.

I build payments with strong engineering rigor—architecting real-time payment notifications using Pusher WebSockets and Laravel Broadcasting, and achieving 93% test coverage with automated tests using PHPStan at maximum strictness (Level 10). I’m comfortable pairing REST APIs, Docker-based workflows, and CI/CD practices with production-focused reliability.

Earlier, at WorldCom Finance (02/2018 – 12/2023), I developed and maintained core backend services for an international money transfer platform, built and optimized high-load transactional systems, and delivered RESTful APIs for internal services and third-party integrations. I’ve also delivered full-cycle web development work at CodeRiders (02/2017 – 02/2018) using Laravel, CodeIgniter, and JavaScript-based front-end technologies.
