Xenithpay is a payment gateway that accepts both local and global payments. Built to replace an outdated (in-house) payment gateway, which had been in use for 20 years and was written in PHP, it has been modernized to scale better with more payment integrations for all currencies.

• Led the migration from a monolithic architecture to microservices.

• Hired and built a full-time team comprising a tech lead, three senior software engineers, and one mid-level software engineer.

• Conducted 1:1 and mentoring sessions with the full-time engineers and tech lead until they could operate on autopilot.

• Established engineering culture and standards, CI/CD practices, and a pre-production checklist, which includes load testing and end-to-end testing, while identifying potential issues at production scale.
