Experience
2020 — Now
New York, New York, United States
Technical & People Leadership: Led a cross‑functional team of four engineers to design, build and
operate a reward‑and‑recognition platform for nurses using Next.js, Node.js and AWS. Balanced
management responsibilities with ~70% hands‑on development, participating in architectural
decisions, code reviews and sprint planning.
Mobile & Web Platforms: Architected and delivered a companion React Native mobile app built with
Expo, ensuring consistent performance across iOS and Android. Owned server‑side rendering (SSR)
and caching strategies to improve web performance and SEO, reducing page load times by ~40%.
API & Data Architecture: Designed scalable REST and GraphQL APIs, defined data models for
PostgreSQL/MySQL, and optimized database queries. Introduced event‑driven patterns and
microservice architecture using AWS Lambda and ECS.
DevOps & Automation: Implemented CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and containerized
services with Docker, enabling frequent deployments with minimal downtime. Automated
dependency scanning and audit‑ready logging to achieve SOC2 compliance.
AI‑Assisted Development: Championed the adoption of Cursor and GitHub Copilot, reducing
pull‑request cycle time by ~30% and improving code quality through automated suggestions and
error detection.
Team Development: Established growth frameworks, conducted regular 1:1s and pair‑programming
sessions, and fostered a psychologically safe culture. Mentored junior engineers and improved
throughput by aligning engineering practices with product roadmaps.
Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Partnered with product and design teams to translate business
requirements into technical specifications, manage backlogs and deliver features on schedule.
Provided regular status updates to stakeholders and proactively mitigated risks.
Full‑Stack Delivery: Delivered a real‑estate single‑page application (SPA) using React and a headless WordPress CMS, exposing content via a JSON API. Managed the project end‑to‑end, from initial setup through production deployment.
Performance Optimization: Implemented image compression, code splitting, client‑side caching and optimized routing, cutting page load times by ~50% and improving user satisfaction.
Reusable Components: Built modular components for listings, search and interactive maps, decreasing development time for new pages by 40% and simplifying maintenance.
DevOps & Deployment: Established build configurations, containerized the application with Docker, and automated deployment pipelines. Ensured accessibility compliance and responsive design across devices.
Content Workflow: Customized WordPress themes, plugins and editorial workflows, enabling non‑technical staff to publish content without developer involvement and reducing turnaround time.
Collaboration: Coordinated with designers and stakeholders to refine features, conducted code reviews and ensured adherence to best practices in React and state management (Redux).
Front‑End & Back‑End Development: Developed full‑stack features using React on the front end and Node.js + REST APIs on the back end, emphasizing modular architecture and clean code.
Infrastructure Automation: Wrote Python scripts to automate virtual‑machine backups to cloud storage, eliminating manual processes and reducing recovery time by 80%.
Property‑Management Portal: Created a role‑based portal for leases and tenant management, streamlining workflows and reducing administrative tasks. Implemented authentication, authorization and guided user flows.
User Interface Modernization: Migrated a legacy UI to Material components and improved navigation, leading to 30% faster task completion for support staff.
System Integration: Integrated AWS S3 for secure file storage and synchronized data between Salesforce, Intacct and Authorize.net through real‑time updates
DevOps & Testing: Introduced CI/CD processes, containerized applications with Docker and increased automated test coverage using Jest.
