I’m a passionate Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience developing secure, scalable, and high-performance systems in the FinTech domain. Currently at Axi (Dubai), I design and build event-driven microservices and identity platforms powering user onboarding, verification, and KYC/AML compliance workflows — integrating biometric, OCR, and fraud detection systems within Azure and .NET Core environments. Alongside development, I take on lead responsibilities—mentoring engineers, driving code quality improvements, contributing to architecture discussions, and coordinating delivery across backend and QA teams. These experiences have shaped my goal of transitioning into a full-time Engineering Lead role. My core strengths include cloud-native architecture, microservices design, DevOps automation, and secure system development, with a deep interest in scaling KYC systems that balance security, compliance, and seamless user experience. I believe in mentorship, collaboration, and technical excellence as key drivers for long-term success — and I’m always exploring opportunities to grow as a leader in the FinTech engineering space.
