Money movement.
Payment APIs, payouts, FX, wallets, and partner integrations. Explicit transaction states, safe retries, and audit trails that hold up in regulated environments.
Senior backend engineer / systems architect
I build the systems money moves through.
Payments, platforms, and the data behind them. I turn complex financial workflows into software that's reliable, understandable, and built to run.

01 / Profile
Good engineering sees the whole picture.
I'm a backend engineer who connects technical decisions with the product and the business behind them.
My work spans regulated banking, crypto payments, and e-commerce: moving money, connecting partners, and making financial data useful. I work across Scala, TypeScript, and PHP, with a focus on distributed systems and the workflows they support.
From modeling a transaction lifecycle to making reporting trustworthy, I stay close to the implementation and work with product, compliance, and infrastructure teams to get the details right.
02 / What I do
Complex domains.
Practical solutions.
Three areas where I bring experience, context, and hands-on delivery.
Data you can trust.
CDC pipelines, analytical read models, and reporting that connect transactional systems to useful business metrics. Visibility for the people making decisions.
Architecture that works.
Domain models, asynchronous workflows, and backend services built around real product needs. Technical direction, mentoring, and ownership through production.
03 / Selected work
