I build the backend systems that move money — and the AI tooling that lets engineers move faster.

At PayIt I took Payment Plans from zero to production as the primary engineer — a recurring-payments platform spanning four backend services in Java, Kafka, and MongoDB. It shipped four weeks early and has processed $15M+ to date.

Lately I build the tooling around AI-assisted engineering: an internal prompt-management service with versioning and safe canary rollout, plus CLIs and orchestration that give coding agents a constrained, machine-readable interface to real systems. I used it to move a 100-service fleet onto a new Java runtime in about a month.

I'm at my best in the messy middle of production — batching GraphQL DataLoaders to cut a service's MongoDB round-trips from 2N to 2, or routing POS card payments through graceful shutdown so a deploy never drops an in-flight transaction.
