Staff Software Engineer · 9 Years in Fintech

I build products that move other people's money.

Jihad Hasan Joy — Staff Software Engineer

Nearly 9 years inside regulated fintech — retail banking, pension platforms, national payment rails, and a multi-chain crypto exchange. I own delivery end to end: architecture, biometric security, identity verification, performance, and App Store release — and I lead the engineers who ship it.
