I build the systems behind financial products.For the past 7 years, I've worked across Fintech payments, banking, Trading, AI and Web3 Crypto, from the dense User Interface to distributed backends, real-time data pipelines, and infrastructure in React, TypeScript, Node, Java, Go, and Rust.
I build software where mistakes have consequences.
For 7+ years, I've worked across payments, banking, FX, trading, crypto, and AI — building everything from real-time trading Exchanges to the distributed systems moving money underneath them.
A bug here isn't just a broken pixel. It can be a wrong balance, a failed settlement, or a missed reconciliation. That's why I care about the details: how systems behave under load, how money moves safely, and how the frontend holds up when everything is happening at once.
I've built APIs and SDKs used by 20+ banks, payment systems processing 50,000+ transactions a month, and pipelines handling 2M+ events a day. I lead 37 engineers across seven countries, while staying close to the code.
React, Next.js, and React Native for interfaces that update every second and can't drop a frame. Trading terminals for CEX and DeFi venues, non-custodial wallets, and financial dashboards that stream order books, liquidation heatmaps, and portfolio PnL over WebSockets. When off-the-shelf charting can't keep up, I go down to the rendering layer itself: custom candlestick series and Canvas bitmap coordinate systems built on top of libraries like TradingView's Lightweight Charts.
I don't just build AI systems — I build with AI. Every tool here is part of my daily workflow. Hover any pill to explore.
