Senior Backend Engineer & Systems Architect

Backend architecture with production ownership.

Why choose me

Architecture clarity with production discipline.

I focus on systems that stay understandable under pressure and continue scaling without rewriting the core every quarter.

I build business logic with explicit validation and failure handling, shaped by banking-domain constraints.

Predictable transaction behavior and fewer production incidents.
