I’m a backend-focused software engineer with hands-on experience building high-scale, low-latency fintech platforms. At Syfe, I’ve led the development of core US trading systems, including options trading, auto-exercise, and short-selling features. I’ve worked across the full lifecycle—from system design and architecture to production reliability—supporting 100K+ daily trades and 140K+ users. Some highlights from my work: • Migrated the US trading platform to an Omnisub model, reducing trade placement latency by ~50%. • Enabled tax-efficient UCITS ETF investing, improving post-tax returns by ~100% for global users. • Built DIY bundles, which proved to be a very high revenue-driven feature for the company. • Designed real-time options pricing and event-driven workflows using Kafka. • Migrated 40+ production services to Kotlin 1.9, JDK 21, and Spring Boot 3.x with zero downtime. • Resolved 100% backend security vulnerabilities across core services. Earlier in my career, I built workflow engines, notification systems, payment services, and CI/CD pipelines across startups, gaining deep experience in microservices, Kafka, and cloud-native systems. I enjoy mentoring engineers, reviewing system designs, and helping people break into backend and fintech roles.
