“Full-stack engineer experienced shipping production SaaS dashboards with Next.js App Router + TypeScript, combining Server Components for initial data loads with interactive client-side analytics. Strong performance/operability focus (reported ~40% UI latency reduction) and deep backend fundamentals across Postgres schema/query optimization and Kafka-based event-driven microservices with idempotency, retries, and DLQs.”

“Research Assistant at the University of Houston who built and live-deployed a production RAG system for 1000+ research documents, using hybrid retrieval (dense+BM25+RRF) with cross-encoder reranking and RAGAS-based evaluation; reported 66% MRR, 0.85+ faithfulness, and 68% lower LLM inference costs. Also built a deployed LangGraph multi-agent research system (Researcher/Critic/Writer) with tool integrations (Tavily, arXiv) and dual memory (ChromaDB + Neo4j), plus freelance automation work delivering a WhatsApp chatbot and n8n workflows for a wholesale clothing business.”

“Backend/platform engineer with Paycom experience owning a core enterprise compliance feature (certification approval workflow) end-to-end, including live migration behind feature flags and production monitoring.
