Leading a team of 7 engineers to architect and scale high-availability payments platforms processing millions of transactions daily, delivering 99.99% uptime and p99 <200ms latency. Driving end-to-end ownership and technical direction, influencing cross-team architecture to build scalable, resilient systems.

Architected and implemented an RBAC framework for secure, fine-grained platform access control. Drove the architecture and rollout of a distributed observability stack (OpenTelemetry, EFK, FluentBit), reducing MTTR by 80% and significantly improving incident detection.

Built and scaled PMLBonds' backend platform from 0 to 1, handling 10K+ RPS with high reliability. Led architecture, technology strategy (Java, Spring, Redis, MongoDB, MySQL), and production rollout, while driving best practices in distributed systems.

Led the design and rollout of a microservices-based Legal DMS platform on NetDocuments, optimizing business workflows and delivering ~$0.6M annual cost savings. Drove large-scale workflow automation for 2,000+ users via API integrations (TeamConnect, ELM), leveraging Java, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, and AzureAD.

Designed and built batch processing systems for Emirates Digital Wallet, processing 1M+ transactions daily with high reliability and throughput. Developed core APIs for Mastercard's Integrated Issuing Platform, enabling 112 global banks to support card issuance, management, and transaction processing at scale.

Analyzed, refactored, and enhanced critical document processing systems at LexisNexis, improving code quality, maintainability, and reliability. Optimized processing pipelines, reducing document processing time by 50%, and introduced fault-tolerant mechanisms (retry, resume) to ensure resilient execution at scale.
