Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in backend, microservices, and ML systems

Newark, NJ3y exp

“Primary designer/implementer/maintainer of an open-source JavaScript library for programmatic SSML generation and validation in text-to-speech pipelines. Focused on safety-by-default APIs with vendor-specific extension adapters, strong backward compatibility/deprecation practices, and measurable performance gains by removing redundant validation stages. Emphasizes developer experience through example-driven documentation and systematic community issue triage.”

“Backend engineer (Encore) who led the evaluation and redesign of a high-volume, low-latency real-time retrieval/ranking and inference platform on AWS, shifting from tightly coupled services to a modular architecture for better fault isolation and independent scaling. Strong focus on production reliability, observability, and security (JWT/RBAC, multi-tenant scoping, Postgres/Supabase RLS), with disciplined migration playbooks (feature flags, shadow traffic, dual writes/reconciliation).”

“AI/ML engineer with hands-on experience owning production deployments from discovery through post-launch stabilization, including real-time computer vision/OCR systems and LLM-powered RAG workflows. Stands out for translating messy customer workflows into reliable backend services, debugging non-deterministic retrieval issues, and hardening AI systems with validation, monitoring, and human-review fallbacks.”
