Senior Backend Engineer

I make flaky systems boring — billing, queues and the parts nobody notices until they break.

Creative DNA

6+ Years shipping
40 Integrations live
54% Fewer failed settlements
3 Engineers mentored

Backend engineer with six years on high-traffic Laravel products. I own billing correctness and queue reliability, and I like the unglamorous work of making a flaky system boring again.

Lately that has meant payments infrastructure — retries, reconciliation and the reporting that finance actually reads.
