CryptX provides enterprise wallet services with institutional-grade security. It offers the simplest and most secure way to accept, store, and manage crypto assets. Private keys are stored in Swiss bank-grade hardware security modules (HSM) developed, manufactured, programmed, and operated in Switzerland.

I acted as the team lead for the CryptX wallet system, managing the entire development team. Before I became team lead, I have involved in all microservices that this software had and implemented all critical functionalities such as:
- Security: I've integrated and configured all microservices to be secured with the OAuth 2.0 protocol provider KeyCloak.
- Messaging: I've integrated and configured specific microservices to exchange information using Apache Kafka.
- Core: I've worked with core functionalities, such as transferring crypto assets from your wallet to another address, exchanging different cryptos, and more.
- Admin: I've created the admin project with my interns, which is used by CryptX support to manage transactions, wallets, users, addresses, and more.

The Georgian Post represents a leading national postal operator mainly involved in providing consumers with universal postal services. The company is oriented on using modern technologies that allow it to provide its clients with as fast a service as possible. With an online ticket service, clients can take place in a queue and get tickets and are also able to schedule their turn with an operator.

I delivered functionality to help users order tickets from home or other places using their mobile platforms. I've also worked with a core system responsible for managing customer queues and for adding new online ordering desirable functionalities. The main technology stack I've used was Python, Django, and PostgreSQL.

Blacklist Screening is a component of TransGuard, which consists of different types of algorithms. Its purpose is to compare every text record to the blacklist using Thomson Reuters’ Premium Plus pack, consisting of more than 600 lists from international authoritative organizations and countries. This component includes black and PEP lists, and the base renewal happens automatically twice a day. Depending on the service, Blacklist Screening can be used automatically, as well as mechanically.

The automated regime system is placed on the consumer’s side and ensures comparing information taken from a transaction to the black and PEP lists. If the system finds a match, the transaction stops, and an AML representative gets an alert. This person can either block or allow the transaction. This is a real-time service, and Blacklist Screening ensures a periodically filtering of the existing client database and allows to check new clients at the moment of registration.

As an engineer, I had to:

• Design the architecture of microservices
• Secure all microservices and add an authorization layer
• Implement a core algorithm to analyze transactions
• Develop the back-end service for the web app communication
