I build backend systems for financial technology and AI-powered products, working at the point where engineering decisions and business outcomes meet. My background spans general backend development and team leadership, and for the past two years I've been focused on payment infrastructure — orchestration layers, multi-tenant platforms, and systems that need to hold up in regulated environments. I do my best work in collaborative teams where engineers and product thinkers are in constant conversation, turning complex requirements into software that people can depend on.
