I build the systems that keep money moving — and I've spent the last seven years making sure they never stop. As a senior software engineer in FinTech, I specialize in backend infrastructure and distributed systems. Most recently, I led a migration of our core payment processing architecture that cut latency by 60% and unblocked a product roadmap that had been stuck for two years. I've also spent a significant part of my career invested in people: I've mentored five engineers, all of whom reached mid-level promotions within 18 months. My technical range covers Python, Go, and Kubernetes, but my real strength is knowing when the architecture problem is actually a team communication problem. Right now, I'm looking for my next role at a high-growth startup or larger tech company where I can lead a backend team working on infrastructure that matters — payments, identity, or data at scale. If you're building something in that space, I'd love to connect.
