About

Drove major latency improvements (about 4s down to sub-1.5s) and has practical experience hardening production APIs (FastAPI/Pydantic, auth with Cognito/Redis) and payment systems (Stripe) by surfacing overlooked subscription and multi-tenant billing edge cases.

Key Strengths

  • Designed and optimized a serverless backend to reduce suggestion latency from ~4s to sub-1.5s
  • Cost-conscious architecture decisions (serverless vs server) with clear tradeoff analysis
  • Hands-on LLM model benchmarking/selection balancing latency, cost, and response quality
  • API reliability via strong schema validation and standardized request/response contracts (Pydantic/DTOs)
  • Risk-managed rollouts using feature flags
  • Proactively identified critical Stripe subscription/billing edge cases (cancellation timing, upgrades, billing access in multi-tenant setups)
