What I do

Services

From architecture design to production deployment — end-to-end software engineering for companies that need it done right.

Backend Architecture & System Design
End-to-end backend design for enterprise platforms. Scalable, maintainable, and built for long-term growth — from data models to API contracts.
NestJS & Node.js Development
Production-grade NestJS applications with TypeScript, modular architecture, dependency injection, guards, interceptors, and full test coverage.
Database Design & Optimization
Schema design for high-volume financial systems. MySQL 8, Oracle, query optimization, indexing strategy, partitioning, and zero-downtime migrations.
Fintech & Remittance Platforms
Multi-brand, multi-currency remittance systems with real-time FX engines, payment corridor integrations, and multi-jurisdiction compliance.
KYC / AML Compliance Systems
Regulatory-compliant KYC/AML workflows for EU, US, UAE, and Canada. Risk scoring, sanction screening, audit trails, and FATCA/GDPR compliance.
Legacy System Modernization
Migration from Oracle/legacy monoliths to modern NestJS + MySQL SaaS. V1 adapter patterns for backward compatibility with zero downtime.
API Development & Integration
RESTful APIs with full OpenAPI documentation. Third-party integrations including payment gateways, KYC providers, notification services, and banking APIs.
Multi-tenant SaaS Architecture
Designing platforms that serve multiple brands and legal entities from a single codebase — with full data isolation, per-brand configs, and role-based access.
DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure
Docker containerization, CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, AWS deployment, Cloudflare configuration, and PM2 process management.
Payment Gateway & Corridor Integration
End-to-end integration with African and Middle East payment networks — Hormuud EVC, Telesom ZAAD, M-Pesa, and international FX providers.
Security & Secrets Management
HashiCorp Vault integration, JWT security, PII field-level encryption, rate limiting, CORS hardening, and OWASP API security implementation.
Technical Consulting & Code Review
Architecture reviews, technology selection, team mentoring, and codebase audits. Honest, experienced counsel before you commit to a design.
About

18 years in the trenches

I'm Amer Ahmed, a backend architect and software consultant based in Hyderabad, India. I've spent nearly two decades building production software for the remittance and financial technology industry — not studying it, building it.

My career started in Dubai, where I worked on enterprise FX and money transfer platforms for companies serving international corridors across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. I learned the domain from the ground up — the business logic, the compliance constraints, the integration complexity, and the failure modes that only appear in production.

Most recently I led the full backend architecture of a multi-brand international remittance platform — migrating a legacy Oracle system to a modern NestJS + MySQL SaaS serving EU, US, UAE, and Canada markets. That project covered 115+ database tables, full KYC/AML compliance, real-time FX, HashiCorp Vault, RabbitMQ, and third-party payment network integrations.

I work best with teams who want an architect who asks the hard questions before writing a single line — because the most expensive mistakes are the ones baked into the wrong design.

Compliance-first thinking
FATF, AML, GDPR, FATCA, KYC — modeled into the data layer, not bolted on after
Database depth
17M+ row tables, covering indexes, partitioning, and zero-downtime migrations on live systems
Domain knowledge
Remittance, FX, multi-jurisdiction regulatory — I understand the business, not just the code
