I’m looking for a role where I can own backend systems end-to-end—especially Web3/fintech/AI infrastructure—build distributed services, improve reliability and performance, and collaborate closely on product strategy.

I'm a Founding Engineer. I work directly with founders, own systems from day one, and have shipped multiple products from zero to production.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Founding Engineer focused on building production-grade fintech and Web3 infrastructure. At Trend Digital, I architected a multi-tenant crypto invoicing platform that enables merchants to accept crypto and settle in fiat, cutting processing time by 80% through careful system design and scaling.
I also engineered a real-time crypto trade engine with sub-second latency and deployed end-to-end payment and OTC trading systems on AWS, achieving 99.9% availability while improving throughput by 3x. Earlier, at Zoniqx and Koshiqa, I scaled microservices for tokenization and high-availability backend features—integrating KYC/KYB workflows, Kafka event flows, and gRPC services to reduce downtime and latency while handling high request volumes.
