API & Platform Development: Engineered scalable Golang APIs and SDKs integrated with AI agents, optimizing corporate payments and automating complex transaction flows to meet high TPS requirements.

Webhook & Developer Tools: Built robust Webhook delivery systems, significantly enhancing developer integration experiences and reliability for clients such as Shopify.

System Optimization & Scalability: Led initiatives that increased transaction limits by 8x and migrated legacy merchant systems, processing millions of payments seamlessly and securely.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partnered closely with Treasury, Compliance, and Product teams to deliver mission-critical features under tight deadlines, maintaining zero downtime.

AI Initiatives: Led AI initiatives to bring LLMs to big data by training and reinforcing models for complex SQL query generation. Implemented a semi-autonomous protocol onboarding for institutional reporting of financial data.

As the Tech Lead for Charge, I built a world-class team of engineers (10) through a rigorous technical interview process. I led the engineering team in developing the Charge e-commerce suite of products. This includes a mobile Flutter app that implements a blockchain-inspired patented transaction signing mechanism. A machine learning-powered KYC/KYB cross-domain widget which allows merchants to onboard their users, and a crypto payment platform.

I designed the apps as scalable microservices which were deployed and managed through a custom AWS infrastructure which I implemented and deployed via reusable Terraform modules using a multi-account AWS design pattern.

I implemented the APIs following domain-driven design, dependency injection, and OpeanAPI specifications. All services were containerized using Docker and orchestrated via Kubernetes.

Through my leadership, my team was able to ship production-ready, highly available products ahead of schedule while staying well within the allocated budget. I was able to accomplish this by prioritizing essential features to be built in-house while outsourcing non-critical features to our overseas team. This strategy resulted in company savings of over $500k per year.

Additionally, thanks to my leadership the company went from an initial set of technical requirements to a post-revenue working product with a subscription e-commerce model. I also developed the startup's technical road map and growth model which allowed the company to successfully spin-off from its parent company. In addition, I led the company's hiring committee and implemented a custom technical recruiting process.

The reference architecture I designed and implemented has been re-utilized and re-purposed by the company to accelerate the deployment of sister platforms.
