I’m a technical lead and backend/integration engineer with extensive experience designing, developing, and launching business-critical integrations across ERP systems, e-commerce platforms, payment providers, logistics systems, and cloud services. I build reliable REST API ecosystems—often microservices-based—and I take ownership from architecture and implementation through deployment and production support. I’m especially focused on payment flows, reconciliation, invoicing and accounting-aligned data integration, and high-volume automation. In recent work, I’ve also applied machine learning and LLM-based automation to support operations and improve classification workflows, while keeping services containerized and production-ready using AWS, Docker, and CI/CD best practices.
