Backend-first engineer focused on reliable systems, clear failure modes, and production ownership.

I build and support production systems for payments/fintech and data-driven platforms. My core stack is Java (Spring Boot) and Python (FastAPI) on AWS, with event-driven workflows using Kafka, plus full-stack delivery with Angular/React when needed.

I've shipped services operating under uptime and regulatory constraints, including systems processing 1M+ transactions/day and platforms handling 20M+ transactions/month. I care about keeping systems predictable under real-world load and incidents.

More recently, I've been building around agent safety and control planes: policy gates, human approvals, audit trails, and explicit data models for tool-using AI systems in production.
