  • Designed and built the running-balance service, decoupling it from Payment Vault to end the slow queries that were taking the database down. Merchants now get an SMS with their balance after every transaction.
  • Automated merchant provisioning through a Jira-integrated tool, cutting turnaround from 3 days to 1.
  • Migrated receipt-service from EC2 to EKS for better scalability and deployment reliability.
  • Cut the React SPA bundle from 9MB to 280KB by reworking webpack settings, lowering AWS cost.
  • Enforced GitLab compliance pipelines (SonarQube, Snyk), push rules, and pipeline requirements across teams as Enterprise Compliance Admin.
  • Helped migrate the fraud detection platform to its next generation without disrupting payment processing.
