Backend-first Software Developer

I design and shipresilient backend systems

I build banking-grade integrations, real-time workflows, and high-uptime services with clear architecture, strong observability, and pragmatic automation.

About

I'm a Software Developer , focused on backend systems where reliability actually matters. I design integration-heavy platforms, clean APIs, and workflows that keep banking operations moving.

On a daily basis, I work across Spring Boot, Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, messaging, and observability stacks. I like predictable deployments, noisy logs during development, and quiet dashboards in production.

Focus

APIs, integrations, workflows, and observability for financial systems.

Mindset

Strong foundations, clean interfaces, clear failure modes, and practical automation.

Currently

Building and maintaining banking integrations and real-time workflows in production.

Stack

The tools I reach for when building production systems.

I care less about hype and more about tools that are observable, debuggable, and battle-tested.

Node.js / TypeScript
PostgreSQL / Redis
Kafka / Messaging
REST / SOAP / gRPC

Selected work

Systems I've helped design and build.

Most of my work lives in private repos and internal systems, but this is a snapshot of the type of problems I like solving.

Core Banking Integration Platform

Event-driven integration layer between legacy core banking systems, FLEXCUBE SOAP APIs, and modern REST services.

Let's build something reliable.

I'm open to backend roles, system design work, and technical collaborations around integrations, workflows, and observability-heavy systems.
