AI Full-Stack Engineer • Large-Scale Systems Architect • Cloud & Distributed Systems
I architect and build large-scale distributed systems from scratch. The kind that move millions of transactions, serve thousands of locations, and run reliably under real-world load. My work spans the full stack, with deep roots in:
- 🏗 Systems Architecture — distributed systems, event-driven pipelines, multi-tenant platforms
- ☁ Cloud-Native Engineering — AWS Lambda, SAM, DynamoDB, serverless-first design
- 💳 Payments & Fintech Infrastructure — multi-processor orchestration, network tokenization, multi-tender flows
- 🔗 API Platforms — GraphQL federation, REST, schema-driven design
- 📈 Quant & ML Systems — algorithmic trading, financial data pipelines, strategy research
I've been the founding full-stack engineer who took a company from zero to Series A, and the consulting architect brought in to redesign systems at scale for Fortune-class retailers and enterprise platforms.
| Project | Description | Stack |
