Payments Platform
As Operational Lead, I stepped into a fragmented delivery environment and took ownership of execution for the MVP of a modern payments platform. The work focused on stabilizing delivery, aligning teams, and shipping a production-ready platform capable of handling real payment volume with smart routing and multi-processor control.
As Operational Lead, I took responsibility for execution during the MVP phase of a modern payments platform designed to act as a unified control layer between applications and multiple processors. The project began in a high-uncertainty environment with shifting priorities, multiple stakeholders, and unclear ownership across teams.
My role was to restore clarity, stabilize delivery, and drive the platform from early-stage chaos to a production launch within a fixed timeline. This included aligning product, engineering, and operations, establishing execution discipline, and ensuring the platform was ready to process real-world payment volume with reliability and smart routing logic.
The MVP was successfully launched within five months, followed by rapid adoption and measurable business impact in the final quarter of 2025.
Highlights:
Took ownership of execution during a critical early-stage phase with high delivery risk
Stabilized priorities and aligned multiple teams around a single executable roadmap
Led end-to-end delivery of the MVP from planning through production launch
Coordinated integration of multiple processors and payment methods into one platform.
Implemented smart routing and failover logic across processors
Ensured platform reliability, observability, and operational readiness under live traffic
Outcome:
👉 Launched the first production-ready modern payments platform in 5 months
👉 Enabled processing of 7M+ payments in the first production phase
👉 Supported $24M+ in processed payment volume
👉 Integrated 6 payment processors and 8 payment methods
👉 Established a scalable foundation with no-code workflow control for future payment expansion
