Experience
Software Engineer 2 at Webbuddy Agency (2024-06 – Present)
- Solely architected ValoraPays (Link), a high-risk crypto payment gateway with 8 NestJS microservices communicating via gRPC (protobuf), and polyglot persistence across PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Redis, and Kafka, and a multi-tenant API gateway with 4 auth strategies (API key/salt, merchant JWT, admin JWT, webhook signature) — achieving sub-200 ms API response times.
- Built a smart routing engine with 20+ factors (TSP performance, cost, latency, bank compatibility, geo, time-based) and 6 integrated payment processors (Razorpay, Stripe, Kingdom Bank, Paytara, Sulifu Pay, Payaza) with pluggable adapters, circuit breakers, and multi-layer failover chains — delivering sub-2 ms cached routing decisions.
- Built a fraud detection engine with multidimensional risk scoring (amount anomaly, velocity checks, device fingerprinting, IP reputation) and a gaming-compliance engine with 4 customer risk tiers, daily/weekly deposit caps, and AML-ready transaction monitoring; designed ClickHouse analytics pipeline via Kafka ETL for real-time merchant and admin reporting.
- Architected CryptoOTC (Link) an enterprise HNI OTC crypto trading platform with a multi-mode RFQ engine (Block Trading, P2P Negotiation, anonymous Dark Pool matching) for $100K+ institutional trades; integrated Sumsub KYC/AML pipeline and sharded MongoDB with 15+ collections using compound, partial, and TTL indexes for high-write trading workloads.
- Engineered a zero-counterparty-risk escrow engine on Fireblocks MPC; implemented real-time balance sync to prevent double-spending, pending-tx safeguards to block escrow races, pre-validation to avoid partial failures, webhook-based reconciliation, and SLA-driven dispute escalation with full audit trails.
- Architected backend of Growstack.ai (Link) with MCP servers, AI-agent orchestration via LangChain, LlamaIndex, RAG, and LLaMA 3 (7B) on GCP; delivered a production MVP in under 3 months with CI/CD, automated workflows across Google Ads, Meta, Airtable, and Slack.
Software Engineer at Define Next (2023-03 – 2024-06)
- Led the Node.js backend for OffsetGo.earth, a blockchain carbon credit trading platform; built smart contracts and REST APIs, enabling onboarding 500+ users and processing 10K+ transactions/day, using Solana for low-latency execution.
- Managed the company's AWS organization; implemented IAM best practices and CloudWatch monitoring, improving system reliability to 99.9% uptime.
