May 1, 2023 - Present
IBIS is an outsourcing company specializing in blockchain and fintech software, as well as CeFi and DeFi services. I implemented integrations with third-party payment gateways, expanding payment options for users. Designed and implemented unit-testing approaches with full documentation, increasing testing speed of codebase. Developed payment gateway priority mechanism for admin panel access and role management for admin users to enhance system security and transparency. Refactored withdrawal and deposit processing service, improving request processing speed by approximately 20%. Replaced direct service calls with asynchronous events after domain model state changes, increasing pipeline efficiency by about 18%. Technology stack included C# (.NET 7-8), ASP.NET, XUnit, EF Core, MS SQL, Docker, Kubernetes, RabbitMQ, and Azure.
Software Engineer at Indacoin
May 1, 2023 - August 11, 2025
Indacoin was a crypto trading platform that also provided payment integrations. I designed and developed a 25% faster payment processing service supporting up to ~4K payments per day. Developed a new payment workflow seamlessly integrated on the client side. Implemented integrations with multiple blockchains such as Solana and Cardano, handling ~5K transactions daily. Integrated logging and Seq for log storage, boosting bug and error discovery by about 40%. Developed system API and integrated various services, exchanges, and blockchain networks via REST API, RPC, and gRPC. Eliminated bottlenecks by system redesign to speed up API and data loading; wrote documentation for new features in Confluence. Stack included C# (.NET 6), ASP.NET, NUnit, EF Core, MS SQL, Docker, Kubernetes, and RabbitMQ.
Software Engineer at Tanais, HyperUp
June 1, 2022 - August 11, 2025
Tanais is an outsourcing company with a proprietary integration bus service (HyperUp) that synchronizes data between applications and services. I co-designed and developed 'integration chains' pipeline plugins, enabling users to build flexible data synchronization workflows (~50GB data processed and ~20K requests per day). Designed and developed a plugin versioning system to enable users to activate different versions, increasing service usability and user autonomy. Refactored 60% of the HyperUp project, improving feature delivery by approximately 40% and simplifying codebase navigation. Led integration of HyperUp within Tanais, developing integration plugins, and facilitating colleague support and training, resulting in 50% faster document and information synchronization across systems. Implemented CI/CD pipelines, increasing delivery of new HyperUp versions on sandbox and production environments by ~55%. Stack included C# (.NET Core 3.1 - .NET 6), ASP.NET, XUnit, EF Core, PostgreSQL,
