Profile: https://flows.cv/leocheng

Full stack engineer with 3+ years building production systems in TypeScript, React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. I lean backend (data modeling, API design, performance optimization) but I'm comfortable jumping around the stack based on the work that's needed. 

Some recent highlights: a MongoDB to PostgreSQL/Hasura migration that improved developer velocity and data integrity with the downstream benefit of reducing query latency from 20s+ to ~2s on key features, an RBAC system with six permission tiers rolled out across internal apps, and a customer-facing product that now drives ~5% of company revenue.
