Founding Engineer
Radom
I owned the payment integrations in a nine-person team: Open Banking across 35+ countries and 100+ banks, with the checkout API, FX and settlement flow that brought in about $300K a month in net revenue. I built the event-driven pipelines (webhook ingestion, idempotency, retries), fiat payouts to EUR and GBP IBANs, and the KYC/KYB and Travel Rule checks that cut manual review by about 80%. I also rebuilt the AWS and Kubernetes test environment.
