I build backend systems for fintech, healthcare, and SaaS products where reliability is non-negotiable. My most recent engagement was a US broker-dealer fundraising platform serving 10+ institutional clients — where I owned 5+ backend subsystems end-to-end for over a year, from schema design through Azure deployment. Real financial transactions. Real investor data. Real consequences if something breaks. ──────────────────────────────────── WHAT I HAVE ACTUALLY BUILT IN PRODUCTION ──────────────────────────────────── ✔ Bulk export pipeline — processed 100,000+ investor records via chunked BullMQ jobs with streamed output to Azure Blob. Fully non-blocking API under heavy load. ✔ White-label theming engine — issuer customizations trigger background jobs that compile CSS bundles, save to Azure Blob, and inject via CDN into the frontend, eliminating per-request rendering overhead. ✔ Offering versioning system — complex state transitions, investor eligibility rules, and audit-safe data mutations for broker-dealer flows. ✔ Event-driven notification pipeline — BoldSign digital signing + SendGrid email, unified and fully traceable. ✔ Zero-downtime .NET 7 migration of a live hospital management system — modernized stack, resolved performance bottlenecks, no disruption to healthcare operations. ✔ Ethiopian calendar engine built from scratch — replaced all Gregorian logic across payroll, scheduling, leave, and reporting for a multi-country workforce platform. ──────────────────────────────────── WHERE I ADD THE MOST VALUE ──────────────────────────────────── ✔ You have a backend that works but feels fragile — I find what breaks it and fix it properly. ✔ You need a complex domain built right the first time — payments, workflows, eligibility rules, audit trails. ✔ You need async/background job systems that don't block, fail silently, or fall apart under load. ✔ You need someone who takes full ownership of a subsystem — not someone who needs hand-holding on every task. ──────────────────────────────────── TECH STACK ──────────────────────────────────── Backend: NestJS · Node.js · ASP.NET Core · TypeScript · C# Databases: PostgreSQL · MySQL · SQL Server · MongoDB Async: BullMQ · Redis · Event-driven architecture Cloud: Azure Blob Storage · Azure CDN Realtime: SignalR · WebSockets DevOps: Docker · GitHub Actions CI/CD Auth: JWT · RBAC Integrations: SendGrid · BoldSign · OpenAI API ──────────────────────────────────── IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOUR SITUATION ──────────────────────────────────── Send me a message describing your backend problem. I'll tell you directly whether I can help and how I'd approach it — no fluff.
