“Open-source contributor who improved React Query’s caching/subscription behavior to reduce unnecessary re-renders via debouncing and batched updates, validated with benchmarking and extensive tests. Also maintained a Flask extension and resolved production background-task hangs by tracing Redis connection handling issues, adding cleanup/retry logic and troubleshooting docs. In a fast-paced startup, owned the design of a Celery+Redis multi-queue background processing system with Prometheus-based observability.”

“Backend engineer who built an AI voice-driven calendar assistant using Python/Flask with a multi-agent architecture (CrewAI + OpenAI), including agent-specific memory management and summarization to handle token limits. Also has production performance optimization experience at Trendyol, adding Redis caching to speed up an advertisement retrieval endpoint and improve page load experience.”

“Backend/AI workflow engineer with experience at AirKitchenz, Uber, and Vivma Software, building production systems on AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, Step Functions). Has a track record of major performance wins (DynamoDB latency 2s to <150ms; Postgres query 2s to ~180ms) and shipping LLM-powered onboarding and ticket-routing workflows with strong guardrails (schema validation, confidence thresholds, human-in-the-loop escalation).”

“Currently working in CoRAL Lab, built and deployed IntegrityShield—a document-layer PDF watermarking system that keeps assessments visually identical while disrupting LLM-based solving; validated in a real classroom where it helped catch 12 AI-cheating cases. Also built MALDOC, a modular red-teaming platform for document-processing AI agents using LangGraph to run reproducible, deterministic adversarial trials across OCR/text/vision routes.”
