  • Integrated Stripe payments and recurring subscriptions.
  • Designed REST APIs for 2 enterprise SaaS platforms, serving 8,000+ requests a day at 99.9% availability.
  • Cut PostgreSQL response times by 45% through indexing and query refactoring, eliminating N+1 queries across 15+ endpoints.
  • Built ingestion pipelines processing 50,000+ records a day with retries and dead letter queues, reducing data loss incidents by 95%.
