Own the settlement & reconciliation platform serving 2 banking partners across 3 card networks (Visa, Mastercard, RuPay). Built a layered financial control framework from scratch — semantic validation, pre-staging circuit breakers, and automated regression testing — achieving near 100% settlement integrity and zero duplicate transactions reaching card networks. Drove 30% reduction in acquirer-side declines through ISO 8583 compliance audits. Built configurable compliance infrastructure spanning NPCI/RBI, MAS, Visa, and Mastercard regulations; scaling through configuration, not custom code. Led AI-driven connector migration for HyperSwitch using LLM automation, establishing prompt strategies and automated replay testing for validation at scale.

About

I work on the infrastructure that processes credit card payments across 5 APAC markets. Most days, that means designing how money actually moves between banks, card networks, and customers, and increasingly, building AI tools that help my team do this faster. I also write about it. You can find my posts on payments infrastructure, AI in product workflows, and what I'm building on the side.
