About

Backend engineer building high-throughput, distributed financial systems. At IG Group, I design and develop real-time trading and ledger systems processing 100K+ daily transactions, focusing on strong consistency, low latency, and high availability. My work includes building 0→1 systems, leading crypto trading integrations, and driving architectural evolution from tightly coupled services to event-driven Kafka-based platforms—improving system reliability and scalability. I was promoted twice within a short span for taking ownership of critical systems and delivering high-impact improvements. Interested in: • Distributed systems & consistency models • High-scale backend architecture • Event-driven systems (Kafka) Tech: Java, Spring Boot, AWS (EKS, Aurora), Kafka, Kubernetes, Terraform
