- Al Transaction Investigation Platform (MCP): Conceived and primary-developed a production TypeScript/Node.js MCP platform for Payments, Risk and Settlement, exposing 52 tools, 5 guided prompts and ~30 endpoints across ~10 internal services for natural-language transaction investigation and production debugging; achieved broad adoption across engineering teams. - Replaced a manual workflow requiring engineers to navigate transaction Uls and individual activity-detail pages; reduced investigation time for batches of 10-15 transactions from 1+ hour to a few minutes. - Built a generic bulk dispatcher spanning 24 endpoints; a representative 22-ID investigation fell from 44 tool calls to 1 bulk operation with bounded parallelism and per-ID failure isolation. - Multi-Processor Fund Recall: Enhanced and scaled a Java 17/Spring Boot risk-event daemon that processed 200K+ recall transactions across 4 payment processors, covering $120K+ in recall value for restricted/fraudulent accounts and integrating with 8 downstream services using Kafka, ActiveMQ and Project Reactor. - Extended processor-specific progressive rollout controls and supported controlled production ramps; fixed a cross-border payment-leg filtering defect with regression coverage, batched payment lookups, supported a major downstream API-contract migration and owned production releases. - Legacy C++ Service Modernization: Served as primary owner/developer for migrating 2 legacy C++ components to a Java ActiveMQ daemon, implementing payment-event processing and database operations across 13 tables; fully decommissioned the legacy components, reducing dependency on the legacy stack and improving maintainability, operability and production debugging.

- Near Real-Time Fraud Detection - Zettle: Designed and developed 36 rolling fraud-detection counter variables processing approximately 100K-200K payment events/day from ActiveMQ across 4 time windows (24 hours, 7 days, 15 days and 30 days), aggregating transaction volume and count at account/card level for behavioral fraud signals. - & Risk KPI Platform: Developed 120+ fraud/risk KPIs exposed through backend APIs, analyzing card and payment behavior such as decline frequency and transaction patterns to identify abnormal activity and support fraud-detection and risk-decisioning workflows. - Funds-Hold Capability Decommissioning: Led a 3-layer deprecation across API, shared rules model and rules orchestration; removed 10 settings attributes, 3 feature flags, 3 actions and 5 ruleflow tasks, blocked new hold creation and decommissioned the obsolete service integration. - Platform Modernization & Release Engineering: Contributed across 6 repositories to CI/CD migrations, dependency modernization, SAST/OSS security remediation and production releases using Maven, Harness, Jenkins, SonarQube and Docker.

- Designed and built a historical metrics platform as sole developer processing 500K+ data points/day, extending metric availability from 24 hours to 30+ days through database persistence. - Developed 6 REST APIs and a scheduled data pipeline for automated daily ingestion, introducing historical metrics storage where none previously existed. - Enabled engineering and business teams to identify policy problems, analyze trends, and compare performance over time using historical metrics data.
