Full-Stack Engineer
Growsari Enterprise Inc.- Sole backend engineer on the eServices team of a B2B e-commerce and logistics platform, owning ten microservices end to end — telco top-ups, bill payments, insurance, shopping affiliates, a centralized transaction and activity service, CAS, reconciliation, receipting and an orchestrator.
- Built the orchestrator and the telco handler from scratch — the handler splits outbound traffic between the legacy telco API and third-party providers, cutting top-up latency from roughly 4 seconds to around 400 milliseconds and isolating the platform from provider-side failures.
- Migrated the inherited legacy services onto Python 3.14, rewriting some from PHP and upgrading others from older Python, retiring end-of-life dependencies and consolidating onto one supported runtime.
- Evaluate new requirements and third-party provider options against the existing architecture, and work with the FinServ and marketplace platform teams on shared transaction and settlement flows.
- Own production support for eServices and administer the AWS EC2 instances (Ubuntu and Amazon Linux 2023) each service runs on, diagnosing and correcting defects and performance bottlenecks within established testing and release protocols, and maintain the documentation, SOPs and runbooks behind them.
- Joined on the mobile app in React Native before taking on the backend, and still pick up React and TypeScript work where needed; use Claude Code and n8n to keep routine fixes and operational tasks from queueing behind one engineer.
