SENIOR BACKEND ENGINEER — PAYMENTS & FINTECH
Mahin K.
Hamzaoghlu
I build payment systems that stay correct at scale — and ship side projects end to end. Based in London, UK.
// PROFILE
Backend engineer with 6+ years building payments and fintech systems in Go and Python. I work on merchant-facing payment capabilities — split payments, combo-card processing, reconciliation analytics — and care about clean data models, correctness, and owning things from design to production.
Outside the day job I build and run my own products end to end. I thrive in environments that value technical rigour and high ownership.
