Senior Platform
Engineer
High-scale platforms from zero to production. 10k+ users, $50M+ monthly volume, 99.3% uptime, sub-100ms latency.
Built for scale, shipped to production.
Senior Full-Stack & Platform Engineer with 5+ years architecting and delivering revenue-critical platforms end-to-end. I've led systems serving 10,000+ active users and processing $50M+ in monthly transaction volume — with sub-100ms latency and 99.3% uptime.
Deep expertise across React/TypeScript frontends, Node.js and Python backends, cloud infrastructure, and blockchain integrations. I own production systems end-to-end: application code, CI/CD, containerization, and reliability practices in remote, globally distributed teams.
I also offer smart contract development (Solidity & Vyper), review/audit, and Web3 integrations when the product calls for it.
