Maintained internal and open-source Rust libraries, developed the recurring payments platform and fraud-prevention algorithms.
High-performance PostgreSQL connection gateway on Tokio serving 2.4M concurrent connections with 8 ms p99 latency and 99.99% uptime.
Open Banking recurring-payments platform processing 850K transactions per day, cutting fraudulent charges by 34%.
Connection-pooling library for serverless workloads that cut memory usage by 41% and cold starts to 120 ms across 18K databases.
