About

Backend engineer building reliable payment infrastructure, developer tooling, and AI-assisted products. I work across distributed systems, event-driven architecture, and pragmatic developer experience. Experienced in shipping systems with Node.js, Kafka, Redis, MongoDB, and LLM workflows.

System Architecture Blueprint

Payment Service Provider (PSP) Gateway Abstraction

Dynamic protocol-mapping and translation middleware designed to remove all hardcoded platform integrations. Scaled via asynchronous workers and decoupled transactional state handlers.

OpenBrowser Local Agent Runtime

Local-first event-driven bridge running communication pipelines over Server-Sent Events (SSE) between background developer processes and cloud runtime execution threads.

Featured Work

Project	Stack	Core Architecture & Description	Links	Status
PSP	Node.js Kafka Redis	Unified 5 payment gateways with a zero-code configuration-driven adapter system. Automated transaction pipelines via Kafka queues, DLQs, and batch processing (50 msgs/batch). Includes Webhook-driven NFT minting on Polygon.	GitHub
Aligator	Node.js MongoDB	AI-assisted MongoDB migration tool detecting schema drift between Mongoose models and live DBs. Built-in interactive dry runs, structural rollbacks, and automated cloud schema backups.	Source · npm
OpenBrowser	TypeScript Fastify SSE	Local-first AI agent bridging the terminal and Chrome via an MV3 extension. Uses an SSE stream server to parse, validate via Zod, and safely inject code diffs without manual copying.	Source
App	React Native Expo GoMLKit	Production cross-platform mobile application utilizing Google ML Kit and OCR engines to automate real-time inventory tracking, package barcode scanning, and metrics coordination for warehouse clients.	GitHub
