“Engineering leader who modernized infrastructure by migrating a ~100-server co-location setup to AWS/GCP with IaC, auto-scaling, and fault-tolerant design, reducing hardware upgrade burden. Also led a key analytics architecture shift from MySQL to ClickHouse to enable highly granular ad revenue attribution and profitability insights, while scaling the dev org from 2–3 to ~12 with stronger CI/testing and review processes.”

“QA automation engineer with hands-on ownership of both UI and API test automation, including building an API test module from scratch to validate all Swagger-exposed endpoints with positive/negative coverage and pairwise optimization. Experienced stabilizing flaky Cypress tests through improved selectors (data-cy) and API-call synchronization, and integrating tiered test suites into GitLab CI with merge/release gates plus JUnit/HTML reporting and Slack notifications.”

“Machine-vision engineer who designed an end-to-end inline inspection station for white wood pallets, combining laser line profilers with 2D color line-scan imaging to detect protruding nails (~2mm threshold) at conveyor speeds. Solved real production constraints (lighting reflections, per-trigger depth/color alignment, barcode tracking) and improved system accuracy from ~80% to 99.5% using barcode symbology changes and Keyence reader AI features.”

“Backend engineer focused on real-time, event-driven systems (Java microservices) handling high-frequency data with low-latency and reliability requirements. Strong in Kafka-based asynchronous architectures, Redis caching, JVM/query tuning, and scalable deployments on Docker/Kubernetes with Jenkins CI/CD; no direct ROS/robotics experience but has closely related distributed communication patterns.”

“Freelance Unity/XR developer with multiple Meta Quest projects (including non-game XR apps) and a 1st-place win at Meta’s Sense AI hackathon in Barcelona for an AI camera-access VR assistant for vehicle repairs. Built a VR Spanish-learning experience solo and has hands-on experience optimizing VR performance (culling, view restriction) and integrating voice recognition for language interactions.”

“Led an end-to-end build of bhangrascape.ca, making key architecture choices across Next.js/Node/Postgres on AWS and implementing S3-based media storage with presigned URLs.
