I build low-latency systems that move money — and lead the teams that ship them.
13+ years across fintech & banking. Real-time trading risk engines, payment rails, and a production lending platform launched in 5 months. Java · Spring Boot · Kafka · Redis · AWS.
I turn ambiguous, high-stakes problems into resilient systems — and ambiguous teams into ones that ship.
At Airtel Digital I lead the end-to-end build of Airtel Money's NBFC Loan Origination System — concept to production in five months with a 20-person team. At Upstox I designed an in-house risk engine validating 6M+ trades a day and a square-off system that lifted annual revenue.
My work lives where latency, correctness, and uptime are non-negotiable: real-time trading, payments, and credit. I care about clean architecture, sharp system design, and growing the engineers around me.
Thirteen years owning systems end to end — from global investment banks to high-growth fintech.
Leading the end-to-end build of Airtel Money's NBFC Loan Origination System with a 20-member engineering & QA team — a production-ready lending platform delivered from concept to launch in just 5 months.
Led 5 engineers to build an in-house Risk Management System with a scalable rule engine — real-time validation of 6M+ trades/day. Shipped a live-editable Risk Admin UI, a priority-based Square-Off System (+10% revenue), and a market price protection rule (+20% revenue). Drove architecture that cut response times 70% to <10ms.
Led the Multi-Product Scoring Project for First National Bank (South Africa) and directed the RoFA initiative — scalable credit systems across Namibia, Botswana & more. Owned delivery end to end, cutting go-live cycles by 40%, while mentoring developers and driving hiring.
Ten browser apps — pure HTML/CSS/JS, no frameworks, deployed live. Because good engineers never stop building.
I'm always open to conversations on engineering leadership, distributed-systems architecture, and fintech platforms.
