What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build secure fintech capabilities (payments, KYC, integrations) while owning CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, and real-time services to deliver reliable releases and measurable product impact.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer specializing in building secure, high-impact fintech platforms and integrations—especially around payments, onboarding, and reliable data pipelines. At Empire FX, I engineered workflows integrating Payment Service Providers (PSPs) and CRM systems, and I built automated KYC verification modules using the Sumsub API to ensure secure, compliant onboarding.

I bring a strong engineering focus on automation and scalability, designing CI/CD pipelines that improved deployment build times and release reliability, and orchestrating development and production environments on GCP for stable, scalable hosting. I’ve also delivered revenue-driving features like an overdraft module (25% increase in estimated revenue through interest charges) and payment transaction systems, while leveraging Kafka-based services at Tacen to power order processing, real-time streaming, and trader personalization—backed by robust GitLab CI test pipelines.
