About
Full-stack engineer who built and owned a production real-estate search platform (advanced search + saved-search alerts) using Next.js App Router/TypeScript with a NestJS + Postgres + Elasticsearch/Kafka backend. Demonstrated strong performance engineering (map search FPS ~20→60, ~80% latency reduction) and backend scalability (optimized alert-matching queries and orchestrated notification workflows with Airflow/Redis), with measurable post-launch engagement gains (+27% returning users).

Key Strengths
- Shipped end-to-end full-stack real estate search + saved-search alerts in production (Next.js/NestJS/Elasticsearch/Kafka)
- Designed layered Next.js architecture (server/client/route handlers) with typed contracts and cache/revalidation consistency
- Measurable product impact: +27% returning users and 20%+ saved searches per week after launch
- Frontend performance optimization at scale: improved map FPS ~20→60 and reduced latency by ~80% by moving marker rendering out of React
- Postgres data modeling and indexing for search workflows (FKs, composite indexes)
- Query optimization for alert matching at scale (avoided JSON extraction; leveraged indexed columns) with benchmarking and side-by-side production-safe validation
- Built durable multi-stage alert/notification workflow using Airflow/Redis/Postgres with idempotency and retries
- Strong production engineering practices: strict TypeScript contracts, automated tests, observability, gradual rollouts/feature flags
