Backend Engineer · Fintech · Payments · Identity Verification · Microservices · Blockchain

I build backend systems that scales and thrive under real traffic. I work across different stacks depending on the problem, i focus on REST APIs, payment flows, distributed systems ,and services that stay reliable in production.

I like turning messy requirements into clean, maintainable services, and I enjoy debugging production issues just as much as shipping new features.

• Usenova I am currently building a platform that help developers keep backend services always-on when they deploy. It could be on their own infrastructure (Oracle Free Tier, cheap VPS, home servers, etc.) or deployed on Usenova. Usenova promises excellent DX, and then it would evolve into a marketplace where people can rent out spare capacity, with Stellar handling payments and escrow.
