Senior Software Engineer · Engineering Lead
Building enterprise
systems since 2014.
I architect and ship production software for regulated, high-stakes domains — fintech, healthcare, identity, and data engineering — pairing deep .NET expertise with modern React, Angular, and real-time event-driven systems.
A decade of building software across a wide range of domains — fintech, financial services, insurance, e-learning, legal document management, hospitality and bookings, tracking systems, and algorithm-heavy applications — owning architecture and delivery where correctness, security, and maintainability are non-negotiable.
Alongside hands-on engineering, I've led teams through the full delivery cycle — defining architecture and technical direction, mentoring engineers, running sprint planning and backlog grooming, leading code reviews, and working directly with clients and stakeholders to align delivery with business goals.
Enterprise Architecture
Designing microservices and Clean Architecture systems for regulated, high-stakes domains, with security, auditability, and scalability established as foundational requirements.
Full-Stack Delivery
Delivering complete products across .NET backends and React or Angular frontends, from API design and architecture through to refined, accessible user interfaces.
Real-time & Data Pipelines
Engineering event-driven systems with Apache Kafka, robust background processing, and custom ETL pipelines that handle high-throughput workloads reliably.
Domains I've delivered production systems in — built to regulatory, security, and scale requirements.
- Secure, fully auditable transaction engines for fund transfers between linked bank accounts
- Banking and payment integrations — Plaid, CorePro, ASA, and OAuth-based account linking
- Affiliate-driven cashback and rewards systems over Flex, Impact, and AWIN
- Scheduled savings runs, payouts, and goal evaluations via reliable background processing
- RESTful APIs for plan management, reimbursements, and reporting workflows
- Robust data modeling for financial records, plan structures, and transaction histories

years building and leading delivery of enterprise and web software — from system architecture through production rollout.
MSc and BSc in Information Technology from the University of Tirana. Across a decade of delivery, I have led engineering teams, owned technical direction and architecture, and partnered directly with clients and stakeholders to translate business objectives into dependable, production-grade software.
