Faris Attallah builds backend systems that hold up under real load.
I work on payment infrastructure at JPMorgan Chase — currently the Apple Card Monthly Installments integration, processing millions of transactions a month. Before that: cloud migrations and internal tooling at M&T Bank, and Salesforce integrations at FusionSpan.
