As a Senior Developer, I design and implement robust trading solutions that optimize financial workflows and enhance operational efficiency. My work focuses on creating value-driven systems across multiple financial instruments and trading tools, using Java to deliver solutions in areas such as precious metals trading, order management, and bulk transaction processing. This role reflects my commitment to developing scalable, efficient systems that meet the demands of complex financial markets

I led the architecture and implementation of a scalable, event-driven microservices framework leveraging RabbitMQ, deployed across a Kubernetes infrastructure spanning AWS and Azure. I enabled seamless API integrations for dynamic, interactive gaming experiences, powering high-engagement platforms. Key achievements: - Spearheaded the delivery of gamification solutions for financial institutions, driving an 80% increase in transaction volume within six months - Scaled systems to handle over 10 million daily events on a gamification SaaS platform. - Developed a robust middleware API that seamlessly integrated with legacy payment and telecom systems, accelerating partner onboarding and system interoperability

As VP of Engineering, I provided strategic technical oversight for third-party vendor engagements, architected and deployed carrier-grade telecom assets, and led cross-functional engineering teams to deliver at scale. I ensured platform reliability and performance through disciplined SLA management, leveraging Linux/Unix systems and Azure-based DevOps tooling. Key achievements: - Modernized legacy Bulk SMS, VAS, and Aggregator platforms into scalable, API-first services. - Scaled telco integrations into a robust CPaaS infrastructure, utilizing RabbitMQ, Kafka, Docker, and Kubernetes. - Sustained 99.9% uptime across critical services while spearheading new implementations that expanded platform capabilities. - Championed Lean Agile practices to enhance engineering velocity, code quality, and team accountability.
