“Full-stack engineer who has owned an operational reporting/dashboard product end-to-end—building a React UI, designing/implementing FastAPI services, and deploying/operating on AWS. Demonstrates strong performance engineering (Postgres query/index tuning using EXPLAIN ANALYZE) with concrete impact (reports reduced from tens of seconds to a few seconds) and a reliability mindset across observability, migrations, and resilient third-party/ETL integrations.”

Tempe, AZ4y exp

“Full-stack engineer with strong ownership across production SaaS and AI agent systems, including a multi-tenant enterprise analytics product at Fractal Analytics and an archive intelligence platform for a real nonprofit. Stands out for combining deep backend/system design, secure AI/RAG implementation, and rapid zero-to-one execution—plus multiple hackathon wins and leadership roles.”

“Software engineering intern who built and deployed a full-stack telemedicine platform (React/Node/MongoDB) used daily in a pediatric clinic, incorporating PyTorch-based predictive features. Demonstrated strong customer-facing iteration and production performance debugging—resolved a live slowdown by indexing/optimizing MongoDB queries and adding caching, improving response times by ~50%.”
