Backend engineer with 7+ years building high-reliability systems where correctness isn't optional — cross-border payments, fintech, and AI products.
- At Thunes, migrated critical transaction-processing services from Perl to Go while holding 99.99% uptime on a system moving $10B+ annually.
- At Proximity Works, built a Kafka-based event pipeline to observe recommended content and improve personalization. Cut P99 latency on the most-consumed APIs by moving non-blocking work async.
- Founded BareLab (AI skincare app): built the whole stack solo — FastAPI + Postgres backend, multi-LLM integration, RAG, Flutter apps, GCP deployment, through to App/Play Store launch.
- At 10xers, architected a creator-payments backend on Go + Stripe Connect, established the eng foundation, and mentored the early team.
- Earlier: ML engineer at Halodoc (NLP classification, geo-pipelines) and a Google Summer of Code contributor; ex-president of my university's FOSS society.
I'm strongest at backend systems, payments/billing correctness, API design, and shipping AI products end-to-end. Open to senior backend, platform, or AI-product engineer/Generalist roles.
Remote: Yes — comfortable with EU/US hour overlap
Willing to relocate: Yes (any country)
Technologies: Go, Python, TypeScript, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Kafka, REST APIs, AWS, GCP, Docker, LLM APIs (OpenAI/Anthropic), RAG
