Lara Dashut

About

Frontend-leaning full-stack engineer who built and fully owned a production crew scheduling system at Archer using Next.js App Router/TypeScript, including a real-time, virtualized timeline handling ~1,200 crew over a 30-day window. Drove major post-launch improvements (60 FPS scrolling, PubNub-based soft-locking to cut conflicts ~90%) and created a correlation-ID-driven state replay/logging tool to debug hard-to-reproduce production issues while also contributing to FastAPI/SQLAlchemy/Postgres performance work.

Key Strengths

• Shipped and owned an end-to-end real-time crew scheduling timeline (1,000+ assignments; 30-day window) in Next.js App Router + TypeScript
• Deep performance optimization of virtualized UI; improved horizontal scrolling from <30 FPS to consistent 60 FPS
• Designed real-time conflict mitigation with PubNub soft-locking; reduced edit conflicts ~90%
• Built production state-replay/debugging system with action logging, timestamps, and correlation IDs to reconstruct user sessions
• Strong pragmatic architecture decisions (server components by default; client components pushed down the tree)
• Backend workflow robustness without Temporal: idempotency keys, retriable pipeline steps, exponential backoff retries, dead-letter handling for third-party sync
• Postgres query optimization and validation using EXPLAIN ANALYZE; indexing/partitioning for high-write scheduling workloads
• High-ownership execution: sole frontend architect handling tech choices, CI/CD, deployments, monitoring, and on-call support
