I’m a backend engineer and cloud-native systems leader with about 10 years of experience building and scaling high-availability platforms in FinTech and AI-driven environments. I’ve worked across payment infrastructure, KYC and wallet flows, AI model provisioning and inference services, and large-scale experimentation/feature rollout systems used across multiple product teams. I enjoy taking systems from concept to production, and I’m comfortable owning architecture, API design, reliability/SLO practices, and cross-functional delivery with engineering, QA, DevOps, and security. I’ve also led technical hiring—conducting hundreds of interviews—and I currently focus on integrating multiple fintech providers and building robust, secure platforms for customers at scale.
