Hire a Distributed Systems Engineer
The hard problems in distributed systems are the ones that only show up in production: out-of-order events, retried notifications, race conditions on shared state. Enow has fixed and owns these classes of bug across multi-tenant SaaS and payment platforms.
What that looks like in production
Distributed-systems work in production:
- Impact Factors
Became the primary backend engineer for a multi-tenant faith-community platform used by churches and ministries (giving, community, messaging) — the person new features and cross-team backend issues route to, across 15+ services.
- Impact Factors
Protected recurring giving and subscription revenue from silent failures: fixed a renewal race that could drop active subscriptions mid-payment, and added recovery that reconciles failed renewals without ever double-charging donors.
- Impact Factors
Secured customer organizations' admin controls against takeover — rebuilt role authorization across every service and closed a path where non-admins could grant themselves admin rights.
- Impact Factors
Made platform data trustworthy under load: a user action like a deletion or role change now propagates once and correctly across every service, even when events are retried or arrive out of order.
- Primus Learning PLC
Eliminated a bug that double-counted campaign totals and tax figures — reworked payment processing so a duplicate or retried provider notification can never be counted twice, verified under concurrent load.
- SaaS Simplified
Also shipped a pan-African admissions platform letting students apply and pay by mobile money across 10 countries without traveling to campus; a mobile-money event-ticketing platform with fraud-resistant QR tickets; and PulseLab, a real-time webhook debugger.
Full stack
“I've had the opportunity to work with Enow on a couple of projects and I must say I'm marveled by his high level of competence. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a full-stack web developer.”
