Played a pivotal role in the early-stage development, focusing on creating discount options and enhancing user experience for both merchants and customers in a pre-seed startup environment (React, Ruby, Python, Django)

Led front-end development projects, driving significant improvements in user interface and experience, and tailoring solutions to meet evolving project needs in a dynamic startup setting (React, Polaris, Liquid, Shopify)

Orchestrated a complete redesign of the merchant-facing admin control panel, focusing on intuitive navigation and efficient access to essential functionalities, enhancing merchant interaction and usability (React, Polaris)

Revamped the merchant process for applying discounts to products, incorporating infinite scrolling, enhanced filtering, elegant display of additional information, and performance improvements (React, Polaris)

Contributed to database design and architecture, drafting Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) and participating in discussions on data relationships and indexing to optimize for scalability, feasibility, and cost (Postgres, GraphQL)

Authored Shopify Script Editor middleware to parse product data & apply discounts (Ruby, Shopify)

Composed several internal tech spec documents and external user-facing documentation (Confluence, Docusaurus)

Wrote, reviewed, and released changes daily to a production codebase serving ~900 chefs and ~4,000 orders weekly

Collaborated with a small team to implement a robust customization feature, enabling users to personalize orders by adjusting spice levels and serving sizes, achieving an adoption rate of 67% in 4 weeks (+17% average order value)

Enhanced the chef-to-consumer direct messaging service by implementing unread chat email notifications, moderation, and automating redirect suggestions by inferring customer message intent

Streamlined the promotional code system by implementing automatic application and referral notifications

Leveraged modern React form libraries and state management patterns to simplify the chef menu creation flow

Built E2E tests in Playwright for menu creation to simulate real user scenarios and maintain flow integrity

Created custom events for tracking user behavior to enable new marketing campaigns in Customer.io

Spearheaded A/B test to evaluate four distinct landing page variants to identify the most commonly resonating value props for consumers to optimize signup and order rates

Translated product requirements and design mock-ups into actionable technical specifications, considering tradeoffs between functionality, performance, and scalability to facilitate seamless implementation by the engineering team

Designed architecture composed of a backend API, database, frontend dashboard, reverse proxy API service, Redis data layer, and software development kits (SDKs) for React and Node.js

Improved client-side performance on React dashboard with multiple forms and lists by designing API requests to minimize JSON response payload size

Coordinated development of reverse proxy service to stream real-time updates to SDKs via SSE

Implemented Node.js and React SDKs, prioritizing protection of sensitive data sent to client-side apps by processing user information and flag rules in the reverse proxy prior to transmitting data to the browser

Drafted developer-facing documentation for dashboard management and SDK configuration/usage

Automated cloud deployment to create and configure 13 constructs on AWS using Cloud Development Kit infrastructure as code (Fargate, EC2 Load Balancer, ECS, ECR, RDS, ElastiCache, VPC)

Developed flag evaluation algorithm and validated via unit tests by parsing combinations of logic conditions

Authored technical case study on design challenges & decisions (fana-io.github.io/case-study)

Collaborated daily with a remote team of 4 engineers across the US
