I design and build production systems end to end: backend, frontend, and the AI layer in between.
Before engineering I spent five and a half years in investments, most recently at Freedom Holding ($10B market cap), picking pre-IPO deals and getting paid on whether I was right. So fintech is definitely my thing. I read a financial product the way its investors will, then build it the way its engineers should.
My engineering journey started inside a bank: built an orchestration service in Node and TypeScript for issuing employee logins, RSA encryption, integration with the bank's signing service, shipped through the bank's own security review. These days I'm lead engineer at a fundraising platform: Python microservices, an ML scorer, LLM pipelines, and a fleet of agent bots on Kubernetes.
Daily stack: Python (FastAPI/Django), TypeScript(Node/Express/Hono), PostgreSQL/MongoDB/Redis, React/Next.js/Vue.js, LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini), RAG with embeddings and vector search, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure
