Has delivered AWS EKS + Terraform/CI-CD deployments with strong security practices (Secrets Manager/SSM, IAM/IRSA) and has hands-on ETL (AWS Glue), legacy modernization, and incident ownership with measurable performance gains (~30% faster queries).”

“Built and productionized an LLM-enhanced version of the WeDAA platform to auto-generate microservice architecture diagrams and support code generation from user prompts, including a practical solution for non-overlapping canvas object placement via coordinate templates. Experienced in diagnosing agentic workflow failures using AWS Strands agents with feature-flagged debug logging, and frequently supports sales through tailored demos and POCs to drive adoption.”

“Full-stack engineer at an early-stage EdTech startup building an AI-tutoring product; owns most of a Django REST backend, CI/CD, and key customer-facing features like FERPA-compliant auth, subscription payments, and real-time LaTeX input/rendering. Also built a /rPlace-style real-time multiplayer canvas (PolyPlace) using microservices, WebSockets, and event sourcing, with performance-focused client rendering (zoom/pan/viewport-based updates) and stress testing.”

“Full-stack/product-leaning engineer in logistics and high-traffic portals who ships production AI features: built an AI-assisted shipment status Q&A system using Pinecone + GPT-4 and a high-volume Python ingestion pipeline (500K+ records/day), delivering 35% fewer support tickets and cutting resolution time from 11 to 4 minutes. Also led a legacy Angular-to-React/TypeScript rebuild that boosted Lighthouse performance from 60 to 90, and has hands-on AWS EKS operations experience including resolving a 3x traffic scaling incident.”

“Backend Java developer who built an end-to-end upcoming payments feature: Spring Boot/Hibernate microservices with MySQL query/index optimization and Kafka event publishing, plus a web UI timeline component enabling users to view, skip, and edit scheduled payments with clear status indicators.”

“Software engineer with enterprise CPQ/CRM/ERP integration experience (Argano) who owned an end-to-end pricing preview capability deployed on AWS Kubernetes with Jenkins CI/CD and full observability (Prometheus/Grafana). Also built an AI-native research agent using LangChain + Chroma to filter academic papers, reporting ~15 hours/week saved for a professor.”
