About Me
Product-minded Software Engineer specialising in end-to-end payment flows — from acquirer and banking-partner integrations through ledger design and cash reconciliation to regulatory reporting and compliance. I thrive at the intersection of business and engineering, building financial infrastructure that scales and that finance, compliance, and operations teams can rely on as their source of truth.
Experience
Product Engineer
- Identified opportunity to offer POS terminals without entering the processing flow by leveraging our acquirer’s existing gateway. Designed and implemented the integration, coordinating directly with terminal partner and the acquirer. Delivered the MVP in under 2 months — now driving 37% of total processed volume and doubling company revenue.
- Evolved our custom ledger/bookkeeping system through regular refinement with the Head of Finance, implementing full cash reconciliation across all bank accounts and partner banks. Propagated cash dates from banking partner booking dates to match all liabilities, transforming the system into the source of truth for regulatory reporting — replacing a manual third-party process previously relied on by the finance team.
- Owned the Deutsche Bank integration end-to-end — led the partner relationship, designed the technical architecture, and delivered the implementation processing €1M+ monthly volume. Delivered dedicated customer virtual accounts with support for SEPA, UK FPS, CHAPS, and SIC payment rails for both inbound and outbound flows.
Software Engineer
- Spearheaded the use of IaC and automated CI/CD practices within the company, creating pipelines and provisioning infrastructure through Terraform for NestJS applications, enabling daily production releases.
- Developed robust public APIs and internal automation solutions with NestJS microservices.
