About

Lead software engineer (3+ years) who built and scaled an AI product backend at Cosmo AGI from the ground up using FastAPI/Postgres/Redis/vector DB, targeting sub-200ms latency and supporting 1000+ active users. Strong in production-grade security and observability (OAuth/JWT, RBAC, Postgres RLS, Prometheus/Sentry), plus DevOps automation (Docker, GitHub Actions, blue-green deploys) with measurable impact on uptime, incidents, engagement, and deployment speed.

Key Strengths

• Architected production backend from scratch for AI app serving 1000+ active users
• Achieved sub-200ms API response time targets for real-time AI interactions
• Built horizontally scalable FastAPI async architecture (tradeoff vs Django ecosystem)
• Implemented enterprise security (OAuth/JWT, RBAC, RLS) reducing security incidents by 90%
• Delivered 20+ REST APIs with consistent performance and 99% uptime using Prometheus monitoring
• Improved user engagement by 45% via WebSocket streaming
• Designed CI/CD with Docker + GitHub Actions; reduced deployments to ~15 minutes
• Executed staged rollout with parallel deployments and blue-green strategy for zero-downtime releases
• Enforced data integrity via Alembic migrations with rollback and test gates (blocked deploys if coverage <80%)
• Identified and fixed WebSocket reconnect edge case preventing connection pool exhaustion and memory leaks
