Selected work

Things I've built

Expertise

What I do

01

Backend Engineering

Python and FastAPI, Django, NestJS and Node. APIs, data models, and the unglamorous reliability work that keeps them running.

02

DevOps & Infrastructure

Digital Ocean, AWS and Railway. Docker, Nginx and CI/CD, with repeatable deployments and infrastructure built for reliable operations.

03

Event-Driven Systems

RabbitMQ, Celery and WebSockets. Async workflows that stay correct when a step fails halfway through.

04

Payments & Fintech

Webhook handling, reconciliation, multi-currency, and idempotent operations for money-moving paths.

Portrait of Isaac John

I'm a software engineer with a focus on backend systems, fintech and SaaS products. I work across full-stack development, infrastructure and product decisions, with particular care for how systems behave when something fails.

Most of my work comes down to how a system behaves under concurrency and failure. Queues that survive a worker dying mid job. Payment flows that still reconcile when a webhook arrives twice. Caches that stay out of the way of the record that actually matters. I also run the infrastructure my code lands on, which has made me a good deal more careful about writing it.

At Olystique Ltd, I'm Head of Engineering & Product. I lead the engineering, DevOps and product decisions behind Posgage, from architecture and development to deployment and ongoing improvements.

I'm also Engineering Lead at Bibuain, where I took our P2P automation platform from nothing to production, and a backend and DevOps engineer at Hoshis Tech Corp.
