where I have worked
CrazyEgg
Senior Software Engineer on a small, highly focused backend team (3 engineers) at Crazy Egg Inc., a US-based SaaS company. I take ownership of technical design decisions, architectural direction, and technology choices across the backend platform built in Elixir.
Key contributions include a complete overhaul of the authentication system with support for multi-factor authentication, secure password reset flows, and robust credential protection. I've also delivered numerous 3rd-party service integrations, designed and implemented scalable worker systems, and led extensive SQL optimization efforts that improved performance and reliability.
BnT
Backend Engineer for a prototype investment platform enabling easier access to gold trading for a German fintech client. I was responsible for the complete backend system design, architecture, development, and deployment - covering trade execution, currency conversions, and payment processor integrations.
Collaborated in a lean team of three (backend, mobile, and design) and successfully delivered the product within the agreed timeframe. Although the project remained at the proof-of-concept stage due to limited customer traction, the system was production-ready.
DivvyPay
Joined DivvyPay in its early days (just 10 engineers) and contributed to core financial infrastructure powering payment processing, credit card issuance, banking integrations, and loan approvals. As the company scaled rapidly to over 250 engineers, I led teams of engineers delivering critical platform features, culminating in the company's acquisition and integration into BILL.com.
As one of the earliest and initially the only remote engineer, I worked closely with the Utah-based team, wearing multiple hats across architecture, implementation, and cross-functional collaboration. This experience reinforced my preference for fully remote teams where I can have greater architectural ownership and leadership impact.
profiq
Began my professional career at profiq during university and quickly transitioned from QA automation into software development. I left college to pursue full-time work as I was learning significantly more on real projects while earning practical experience.
Led teams of engineers delivering a wide range of projects, from early HTC Vive virtual reality applications and IDE plugins, to a real-time Django backend for synchronized VR watch parties and multiple React applications. Later, I acted in a fractional CTO capacity for select profiq clients, such as Serenity, helping shape their technology strategy.
