Senior Data Engineer | Backend Engineer | PySpark | Databricks | AWS | ML | AI | LLM
Highly-motivated and experienced engineer with background in fintech data engineering, data science and defense/government data. Experienced in developing scalable big data pipelines using cloud based tools that ensure data quality and optimize data engineering pipelines.
Led the end-to-end product delivery of two fintech MVPs, defining requirements, success metrics, and cross-functional execution across mobile, backend, and compliance teams.
•
Owned the product strategy and roadmap for wallet creation, stablecoin transactions (mint/burn/bridge), and admin governance flows, prioritizing features based on user value, risk, and regulatory constraints.
•
Translated complex blockchain, custodial, and banking integrations into clear product specifications and collaborated with engineering to deliver secure REST and gRPC APIs for high-stakes financial operations.
•
Drove cross-chain product capabilities by aligning engineering, security, and compliance teams to support EVM and Solana networks, including multi-signature approvals and raw transaction signing.
•
Defined user journeys for guests, registered users, admins, and institutional clients, ensuring seamless onboarding, MFA-protected authentication, and scalable role-based access control.
•
Launched event-driven orchestration as a product capability, enabling predictable transaction lifecycles and real-time observability using AWS EventBridge, Step Functions, and audit-grade logging.
•
Established API versioning standards, error models, and documentation quality bars, improving DX for mobile and platform teams and reducing integration time by creating a unified API contract.
•
Managed stakeholder alignment with compliance (OFAC/AML), risk, DFNS, and core-banking partners, ensuring product decisions met regulatory requirements while still achieving time-to-market goals.
•
Built data schemas and dashboards to track product KPIs, including transaction success rates, signature quorum attainment, blacklisted wallet enforcement, and cross-chain throughput.
•
Acted as the technical liaison between engineering, compliance, and leadership, simplifying blockchain concepts, identifying product risks, and influencing architectural decisions for scalability.
