Independent

· Senior Software Engineer · Consultant

April 2026 — Present — Remote

Building operational software end to end for clinics, manufacturers and back offices — domain research, architecture, implementation and deployment — alongside agentic AI systems built to production-grade reliability standards.

  • Architected an agentic document-compliance pipeline as a Reactor pipeline over MCP tool servers, reaching a 0% hallucination rate and 100% decision accuracy across 79 fixtures via a two-tier evaluation harness that avoids self-grading bias
  • Built Better Me, a mobile-first health OS with a RAG-powered Claude chat interface and a pgvector similarity pipeline over daily logs
  • Shipped a costing PWA that replaced a manual daily calculation at a PVC compound plant
  • Took a clinic from a static brochure site to a booking-and-portal Phoenix application
  • Own the full stack on every engagement: Postgres schema through LiveView UI to deploy

Oct 2022 — April 2026 — Tallinn, Estonia (Remote)

Developed the tech for all Resort, Casino and Restaurant operations at Bombay Resort — including YOLO Wallet, a fintech payment application handling individual transactions up to $1M and $10M–$20M in daily volume.

  • Delivered a centralized Admin UI (Phoenix LiveView) dashboard with complete ownership, working closely with Product and Design
  • Architected a Backoffice application using Absinthe (GraphQL) to securely manage complex internal casino data
  • Integrated multiple fiat and cryptocurrency onrampers for card and bank-transfer purchases
  • Owned infrastructure as code with Terraform, provisioning and managing Kubernetes clusters with ArgoCD driving GitOps-style continuous deployment

BlockFi

· Senior Software Engineer

May 2021 — Aug 2022 — New Jersey, USA (Remote)

Built the crypto-backed loan platform behind a $100M loan book: event-sourced loan lifecycle management, real-time LTV monitoring and settlement under high concurrency.

  • Engineered a crypto-backed loan platform supporting a $100M loan book, using Event Sourcing for the loan lifecycle, LTV monitoring and settlement
  • Decoupled a legacy monolith into a scalable Elixir microservices architecture using Domain-Driven Design
  • Built resilient, concurrent data pipelines with Broadway and RabbitMQ for high-throughput message processing
  • Established a strict TDD culture reaching >90% test coverage, with Prometheus, Grafana and OpenTelemetry observability

· Software Engineer

Feb 2019 — May 2021 — Remote

Architected distributed, fault-tolerant server-side infrastructure for massive multiplayer games — Poker, Teenpatti, Indian Rummy, Soccer Battles — supporting 80,000+ concurrent users and 50M downloads.

  • Scaled distributed Erlang nodes with advanced deadlock management to seamlessly support 80,000+ concurrent users
  • Reduced database load and latency by optimizing data flow through OTP processes between Redis and Mnesia
  • Developed dynamic poker bot logic and custom Ejabberd (XMPP) modules for Facebook and Amazon integrations
  • Owned core game lifecycle mechanics and in-app purchase integrations

Let's build something durable

I'm open to consulting work, contract engagements and interesting problems — especially anything involving Elixir, operational systems, or making AI reliable enough to trust in production.
