Scaling Payment Systems: Lessons from Processing 20M+ Daily Transactions
Key architectural decisions and technical strategies for building high-performance payment systems that can handle millions of transactions daily.
What I Do
Whether you're exploring AI for the first time or scaling an existing system, I meet you where you are.
Cut through the hype with a grounded, business-first strategy. I help you identify where AI creates real leverage — and build the roadmap to get there without wasted effort.
I build the AI-powered tools, automations, and integrations that make your team faster and your products smarter — from first prototype to production-grade system.
How I Work
Deep dive into your business goals, data assets, and constraints
Architect the right AI solution — no unnecessary complexity
Engineer and iterate with rigorous testing at every layer
Deploy, monitor, and evolve as your business grows
AI Work
Practical AI applied to real problems — shipped systems, not demos.
Built an intelligent support platform that auto-classifies incoming tickets, routes them to the right team, and drafts grounded responses using a RAG pipeline over the company knowledge base. Agents review and send — average handle time dropped 60%. A feedback loop retrains classification quality over time.
Engineered a documentation pipeline that ingests API specs, codebases, and changelogs, then generates accurate, structured user guides and technical manuals. A diff-aware update mode regenerates only sections affected by product changes — cutting documentation cycles from weeks to hours.
Integrated AI algorithms with satellite imagery analysis to optimize livestock movement patterns for grassland carbon sequestration. The system processes real-time satellite data to surface grazing rotation recommendations that maximize carbon retention — delivered through a mobile-first interface used by pastoralists in the field.
