Has scaled Kafka-based pipelines processing millions of messy financial/infrastructure records with reliability and cost/latency tradeoff management.”

“Full-stack engineer with startup experience who owned an end-to-end rebuild of a production analytics page at VideoNest (Next.js/TypeScript frontend, FastAPI/Python backend, Postgres), including third-party data ingestion/sync and query/index optimization; the feature reached 2,500+ users and received positive feedback from large clients. Also built a habit/community mobile app (Celeri) with near-real-time step updates using polling and UI optimizations like pagination and selective re-rendering.”

“Backend/web API engineer with hands-on experience deploying .NET Core APIs to Azure App Service and stabilizing production systems through disciplined log-driven troubleshooting, environment configuration management, and SQL performance tuning (execution plans, query rewrites, indexing). Has also debugged cross-layer incidents involving DB locks and network latency, and modifies Python/XML automation scripts to meet customer-specific requirements while improving logging and performance.”

“Product-focused full-stack engineer who built and shipped an LLM-powered document-to-flashcard conversion pipeline end-to-end (backend + React/TypeScript UI) in ~10 days.
