Built Stripe Checkout + Webhooks with idempotency & HMAC verification → −22% payment/state mismatches; support tickets −30%. Designed exactly-once ingestion on Pub/Sub (ordering keys, dedupe keys, retry/backoff) → eliminated duplicate processing. Shipped zero-downtime Alembic migrations (backfills, guards, safe rollout/rollback) → no incidents across releases. Optimized queries (indexes + keyset pagination) → median −32% latency; p95 −55 ms on critical endpoints. Implemented role hierarchy + row-level authorization with full audit trail for multi-tenant data access.
