Ledger Architecture
Double-entry design review and correctness verification. I ensure your ledger balances to the penny across concurrent transactions and meets audit requirements from day one.
I build and review financial infrastructure where mistakes have dollar amounts attached—ledgers, payment processors, trading systems, and reconciliation engines.
Financial software is unforgiving. A floating-point rounding error that's invisible in testing becomes a reconciliation nightmare at scale. An idempotency gap that works fine under normal load causes duplicate charges when a payment gateway times out. I bring the discipline of integer arithmetic, formal correctness verification, and testing strategies built specifically for systems where auditability isn't optional—it's the whole point.

Idempotency and failure-mode analysis for every payment path. I map out what happens when gateways time out, retries fire, and race conditions emerge under load.
Finding and eliminating floating-point leaks across your financial calculations. One rounding error compounded across millions of transactions creates real losses.
Regulatory-ready audit trail architecture that captures every state transition. Built so compliance reviews are straightforward, not archaeological expeditions.
Production financial systems in Erlang and Go with a perfect track record on arithmetic correctness. Integer math from the ground up.
Ledger implementations that balance correctly across concurrent transactions, partial failures, and distributed rollbacks.
PCI-DSS adjacent experience building architectures where every financial event is traceable, immutable, and explainable to regulators.
If you're building anything where money moves and needs to be accounted for, you need someone who's done it correctly. Not just conceptually—down to the integer overflow checks and race conditions.
