Numan Iftikhar

Senior full-stack engineer building FinTech products end to end — Node.js / Nest.js, Vue / Nuxt & React.

I ship features from end to end — from Vue/Nuxt and React interfaces to Node.js/Nest.js services and the databases behind them. My focus is FinTech and digital identity: KYC/KYB/AML, fraud detection, crowdfunding, supply chain financing, and eSignature, including production systems handling 10M+ verifications.

01 — About

A bit about me

I'm a senior full-stack engineer with deep FinTech and digital-identity experience. Over the past few years I've built production platforms across KYC/KYB/AML, fraud detection, crowdfunding, supply chain financing, and eSignature — owning the full lifecycle from UI and API design to data modeling, performance, and deployment.

I've shipped systems handling 10M+ verifications, acted as interim Tech Lead for a 10-engineer team, and built multiple platforms from scratch. I'm equally comfortable in component architecture on the frontend and distributed-systems concepts on the backend — microservices, message queues, event-driven design, and caching.
