“Software engineer who built and owned an internal workflow automation + analytics platform end-to-end (TypeScript/React/Node) with a microservices, RabbitMQ-based async architecture. Drove adoption by shipping iterative prototypes and prioritizing reliability/performance (Redis caching, query optimization), delivering ~30–35% latency improvements and ~30–40% reduction in manual operational work.”

“Data/Backend engineer who has owned end-to-end merchant analytics systems on AWS: orchestrated multi-source ingestion (FISERV/Shopify/Clover) with Step Functions/Lambda, enforced strong data quality gates, and served curated datasets via Redshift and a FastAPI layer. Also built an early-stage Merchant Insights AI agent that converts natural language questions into SQL using OpenAI models, with full CI/CD and observability.”

“Software engineer who has shipped both core web platform features (secure user authentication/profile management) and production LLM systems. Built an internal documentation knowledge assistant using a full RAG pipeline (OpenAI embeddings, vector DB, semantic search, reranking) with evaluation loops and a scalable document-ingestion pipeline for PDFs/FAQs, iterating based on metrics and user feedback.”

“Built and deployed a GPT-4 + Pinecone RAG system that lets users query large internal document collections with grounded, cited answers.
