Work Experience

Senior Backend Engineer (Lead Architect) at Penir Emit
July 1, 2025 - Present
Built a crypto-powered bill payments & remittance platform from scratch, designing the payment backbone to process thousands of daily transactions with near-zero incidents. Worked across a distributed payment stack using Node.js/TypeScript (Fastify/FastAPI, gRPC) and Go components, with event-driven messaging via RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB for high-volume persistence, and AWS S3 for storage. Focused on operational reliability with monitoring/alerting patterns and production hardening for low-latency transaction flows.
Senior Backend Engineer at Emple (Canalis Technologies)
October 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025
Architected and delivered a life & general insurance microservices system with 7 core services (wallet, payments, notifications, scheduling, uploads). Achieved 3k–5k daily transactions and reduced support ticket rate. Improved performance and reliability by slashing inter-service latency and migrating REST to gRPC with certificate-based authentication. Consolidated messaging failures and tuned data/query performance by moving ledger operations to TimescaleDB. Built cross-language SDKs and implemented a Go-based upload service using pre-signed S3 URLs to reduce credential exposure.
Software Engineer at CBIT Industries
February 1, 2024 - October 1, 2024
Worked on an e-commerce & logistics control tower stack, contributing to front-end and backend development and integrating APIs and data persistence. Technologies used included React/Vite, Node.js/Express, PostgreSQL with Prisma, Redis, RabbitMQ, and AWS S3 for media storage.
CTO & Co-Founder at Scalex Technologies
January 1, 2021 - January 1, 2025
Scaled a global crypto on/off-ramp infrastructure from zero to 100k+ monthly volume, supporting partners across 15 countries. Owned architecture and delivery across backend services, messaging, and Web3 integrations. Built and integrated tooling around blockchain rails (Solana/Ethereum), smart contracts (Solidity), and Rust components, while using AWS infrastructure to support high-throughput production workloads.
