My Experience

I've been working as a Full-Stack Software Engineer for the past few months.
Here's a timeline of my journey so far.

Jun 2026 – Sep 2026

Jun 2026 – Sep 2026

Software Engineer Intern

TypeScriptFastifyReactAWSLLMs
  • Built a TypeScript/Fastify upload pipeline supporting 5 document formats plus CSV, integrating AWS S3, Prisma, MySQL, Markdown conversion, magic-byte validation, and owner-scoped authorization for LLM campaign workflows.
  • Shipped 3 Fastify read APIs and a React Company Research interface across 4 repositories, surfacing generated campaign assets with SSE-driven refresh, 90-day news, and per-account failure isolation.
  • Architected domain, service, and repository layers for a greenfield TypeScript backend rewrite, defining 12 typed dependencies and runtime-validated entities that unblocked 3 downstream engineering tickets.
  • Built an asynchronous per-asset regeneration API that reruns 1 generation stage instead of the full 5-agent pipeline, adding lifecycle gating, ownership checks, rate limiting, and in-place updates.
  • Benchmarked OpenAI model and concurrency configurations for URL enrichment, identifying a setup ~3× faster with ~3.3× lower p95 latency and ~3× lower estimated inference cost.

Software Engineer Consultant

PythonGoOpenAPINeo4jYAML
  • Built a Python backend validation service to prevent incompatible aircraft software deployments by enforcing hardware, software, and configuration constraints prior to fleet rollout.
  • Engineered a deterministic resolution system for large-scale, distributed deployment validation, via dependency graph traversal across 1,500+ aircraft to deliver low-latency (<5s) constraint evaluation.
  • Designed OpenAPI integration contracts and Go-based validation tooling for YAML dependency manifests, enabling pipeline-level verification before Neo4j ingestion.
  • Architected a Neo4j dependency graph schema supporting semantic version ranges, hard vs. soft requirements, and incompatibilities across 50,000+ deployable artifacts.
  • Reduced simulated fleet-scale deployment failures by 90%+ by partnering with a Principal Architect to shift validation to pre-deployment constraint evaluation with actionable incompatibility explanations.
