About

Hi there! Glad to see you here. I'm a Backend Software Engineer with 4 years of experience building scalable fintech products and backend systems that power critical business workflows. Over the years, I've worked across payments, lending, and banking domains, taking ownership of products from architecture and design to production deployment and support. I enjoy turning complex business requirements into reliable, scalable, and maintainable solutions. Currently at mPokket, I've led the architecture and development of platforms such as Autopay and Credit Navigator, driving initiatives that improved customer retention, enabled seamless financial integrations, and delivered meaningful value to thousands of users. My core expertise includes: • Java & Spring Boot • PostgreSQL & MySQL • REST APIs & Third-Party Integrations • System Design (HLD & LLD) • Distributed Systems & Scalable Architecture What excites me most is solving challenging engineering problems, designing systems that scale, and continuously learning better ways to build software. I thrive in environments where I can take ownership, collaborate with talented teams, and create products that have a measurable impact on both users and businesses. Always open to connecting with fellow engineers, learning from others, and discussing technology, system design, and backend engineering.
