I build the boring, load-bearing parts of payment systems — the queues, the idempotency, the migrations that can't drop a transaction. Nine years in, I still care most about the systems nobody notices because they just work. I'm looking for a staff-level backend role where reliability is treated as a feature, not an afterthought.
“Dana led the event-driven migration across four payment services. It was Dana's design and Dana's call to sequence it behind a feature flag. I'd work with Dana again without hesitating.”
“The person you want on the incident bridge at 3am — calm, methodical, and always has the runbook. Dana makes the systems around them more reliable.”
