Professional Summary
Backend engineer with six years on payment and logistics systems. Most of my work has been splitting large services into ones a small team can own, and making the resulting systems debuggable in production.
Work Experience
- Rebuilt the shipment import pipeline, cutting overnight processing from four hours to thirty-five minutes.
- Moved sixty services off a shared database onto per-service schemas, one bounded context at a time, with no planned downtime.
- Introduced contract tests between the routing and billing services, which ended the weekly release freeze.
- Built the invoicing service that now issues around forty thousand invoices a month.
- Added structured logging and tracing across the order path, halving the median time to diagnose an incident.
