Staff Level Backend Engineer | Distributed Systems | High Reliability
I’m a backend engineer specializing in distributed systems, high-reliability infrastructure, and financial/trading platforms. Over the past several years, I’ve led architectural initiatives across exchange systems, payment infrastructure, and high-performance messaging platforms. My work focuses on building scalable systems that prioritize correctness, durability, and operational excellence. I’m currently seeking remote opportunities where I can contribute at a Staff-level scope — leading architectural decisions, improving system reliability, and helping teams scale both technically and organizationally.
