Description

Full stack engineer focused on building reliable, scalable systems across fintech, payments, and high-traffic platforms. I design and deliver end-to-end features using React, TypeScript, Python, Node.js, and AWS, with a strong emphasis on performance, maintainability, and clean system design.

My experience spans payment orchestration, booking systems, API design, and developer tooling. I’ve built event-driven and RESTful services, integrated multiple third-party providers, and worked on systems that require idempotency, reliability, and careful handling of financial workflows.

I care about how systems behave in production — observability, failure recovery, and reducing operational friction are central to my approach. I also work closely with product and operations teams to translate business logic into scalable technical solutions.

I’m strongest in backend-heavy full stack delivery, distributed systems thinking, and building internal platforms that improve developer experience and system visibility. Currently focused on senior-to-principal level engineering work, especially in fintech and API-driven ecosystems.

Senior Software Engineer
June 2020 - Today (6 years)
• • Designed and delivered end-to-end full stack features using React (Hooks, Redux, TypeScript) on the frontend and Python (FastAPI, Flask) and Node.js on the backend, supporting high-traffic financial and operational workflows.
• • Built responsive, user-friendly UI components with React, focusing on performance, accessibility, and predictable state management for internal dashboards and merchant facing tools.
• • Designed and implemented RESTful and event-driven APIs using FastAPI, Flask, and Node.js, supporting asynchronous workflows, webhooks, retries, and idempotent op erations.
• • Wrote reusable, testable, and maintainable code across frontend and backend layers, improving automated test coverage to 60–70%+ and reducing regression defects.
• • Integrated services with PostgreSQL, MySQL, DynamoDB, and MongoDB, de signing data models aligned with transactional integrity, reporting requirements, and performance constraints.
• • Designed Python-based service layers to integrate external APIs and data pipelines used for analytics, automation, and intelligent workflows, focusing on clean ab stractions and maintainable service boundaries.
• • Built backend utilities and data preparation pipelines to structure application data for downstream analytics and intelligent systems, enabling efficient API integrations and scalable service orchestration.

Full Stack Engineer
January 2025 - August 2025 (7 months)
Edinburgh, UK
• • Designed and delivered end-to-end booking and payments features using React on the frontend and Python and Node based backend services, supporting real-time bookings, availability checks, and OTA integrations.
• • Built and maintained RESTful and event-driven APIs to manage booking lifecycles, third-party partner callbacks, and downstream settlement workflows.
• • Integrated multiple external OTA providers using webhook-based and polling-driven integrations, handling partial failures, retries, and reconciliation logic.
• • Introduced idempotent APIs, correlation IDs, and structured error handling to address duplicate bookings and settlement inconsistencies, reducing booking-related errors by over 50%.
• • Designed and evolved relational data models to support bookings, partners, payments, and reporting requirements, enabling accurate revenue tracking and auditability.
• • Delivered frontend features for internal operational dashboards, improving visibility into booking states, failures, and partner performance for non-technical stakeholders.
• • Collaborated closely with product and operations teams to translate business workflows into technical solutions, delivering features iteratively in a fast-moving environment.
• • Troubleshot and resolved production issues across the stack, improving system reliability and reducing manual operational overhead.
• • Contributed to code reviews, design discussions, and sprint ceremonies, ensuring maintainable implementations and predictable delivery.
