Backend systems I've built and shipped in production:
- Payment processing workflows & multi-provider webhook handling
- Queue-based background processing (idempotency, retries)
- KYC verification pipelines (BVN/NIN + selfie)
- Device registration systems (HMAC signature verification)
- Field-level encryption (AES-256-GCM)
- Secure authentication & authorization
- Notification infrastructure
Solidity · Smart Contract Security · Bug Bounty Hunting · Distributed Systems
