I work on backend systems that have outgrown their original shape.

I'm a Staff / Principal-level software engineer with a long background in building and evolving systems in fintech, banking, and B2B environments — especially when early architectural decisions start creating friction in delivery or scale.

I stay hands-on where it matters (design, reviews, critical paths), but I care more about system structure, boundaries, and long-term evolution than volume-driven coding.

Most of my work sits at the intersection of:

• system design and architecture
• real operational constraints
• small-to-medium teams that need to move without breaking things

• Backend and platform architecture
• System evolution (monolith → modular → services, when needed)
• Integration-heavy systems (payments, trading, workflows)
• Technical decision-making under real business constraints

Golang · TypeScript / Node.js · Java · SQL

(Chosen based on context, not preference.)

• Fintech & banking platforms (payments, lending, onboarding)
• High-concurrency transaction systems
• B2B and internal platforms supporting real operations

I'm based in Calgary, Canada.
I tend to work best in roles with clear ownership, trust, and room for technical judgment.
