In an early-stage SaaS internship, diagnosed a load bottleneck using K6/New Relic and shipped an NGINX least-connection load-balancing solution that scaled to ~4000 RPS while reducing latency. Also improved maintainability and performance in a React/Node e-commerce codebase, cutting page load time from ~10s to 2.8s.”

“Solo-built and launched an AI logo generator SaaS in ~2 months using React/Next.js/TypeScript with managed auth and payments, deploying via Vercel/GitHub CI/CD. Also has hands-on AWS production experience running containerized services with Terraform-managed multi-environment infrastructure and strong reliability patterns for integrations/pipelines.”

“QA automation engineer with end-to-end ownership of a loan-processing automation suite spanning UI, API, and database validations (Selenium/Playwright/TestNG/REST Assured; Java/Python). Caught and prevented high-impact financial defects (e.g., risk-calculation rounding errors) through CI-driven nightly regressions and API-to-DB checks, and has implemented maintainable Cypress patterns with flake reduction plus GitLab CI gating and Allure reporting.”

“Providing technical guidance to a small team exploring a biomedical startup focused on earlier disease detection, including for remote/underserved areas. The venture is in ideation with initial research completed and is moving toward prototyping while exploring initial investment/support.”

“Software engineer with Citi Bank experience building real-time fraud validation/scoring for loan processing, spanning Spring Boot microservices and a FastAPI Python service secured with OAuth2/JWT. Delivered React/TypeScript operations dashboards and deployed containerized services via Docker/Kubernetes with Jenkins CI/CD, while also tuning databases (Oracle/Postgres) and handling high-volume latency/scaling issues using ELK, caching, and autoscaling on AWS.”

“Game QA professional with live production experience at Nexon America owning localization verification for new MapleStory questlines (quests, VO, subtitles) and managing issues through Jira-based regression. Previously identified and documented a hard-to-repro main-quest progression blocker on Horizon Zero Dawn: Forbidden West, providing video-backed repro steps that enabled a fix before the next build shipped.”

“Full-stack engineer who shipped a group scheduling SaaS feature with live availability updates using Next.js App Router + TypeScript, owning production reliability after launch (auth debugging, monitoring, polling/backoff tuning).
