About

Full-stack TypeScript engineer who has owned a real-time workflow/communication platform end-to-end in production (Node/TS + React, Postgres/Redis, Kafka, Docker/CI/CD). Demonstrates strong distributed-systems pragmatism—designing for failure with retries, DLQs, idempotency keys, and atomic writes—plus operational practices like structured logging, monitoring, and zero-downtime deployments.

Key Strengths

• Owned end-to-end full-stack TypeScript production system (architecture through deployment)
• Designed modular backend service boundaries and core APIs
• Built event-driven workflows with Kafka to balance low latency and scalability
• Production reliability engineering: retries/backoff, DLQs, idempotency, and atomic writes to handle duplicates/partial failures
• Quality practices: strict TypeScript typing with shared models, API boundary validation, unit/integration testing
• Operational maturity: structured logging, monitoring, CI/CD, and zero-downtime releases
• External developer API design: versioning strategy, backward-compatible rollouts, JWT auth, and documentation improvements driven by support/error telemetry
• Owned end-to-end production feature across frontend, backend, data workflows, and infrastructure
• Built scalable event-driven microservices with Kafka for asynchronous processing and notifications
• Productionized AI/voice patient communication workflows with prompt structure, guardrails, and monitoring
• Delivered measurable scale/performance: 1,000+ dental scans/day and sub-100ms API latency
• Legacy modernization: incremental migration from monolith to microservices with Spring Boot/Docker and no-regression approach
• Reliability practices: CI/CD, automated tests, staged deployments, and CloudWatch-based monitoring
• Partnered with product leadership to translate ambiguous goals into a roadmap and shipped in weeks across multiple teams
