I’m a Senior Software Engineer who specializes in building the "heavy" parts of the web—the systems that have to be fast, scalable, and intuitive all at once.
2022 — 2026
AI Technical Leadership: Championed the adoption of AI-assisted development workflows; delivered an organization-wide architecture deep-dive on Transformer models and the Attention mechanism, evaluating the structural trade-offs of tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude to standardize team-wide productivity gains.
High-Scale Infrastructure: Led the end-to-end development of a canvas-integrated template library for a platform supporting 10M+ Monthly Active Users (MAU). Architected the importation of complex widget collections into active sessions, integrating deeply with real-time collaboration engines.
Spatial Placement Algorithm: Engineered a "Max Area" placement algorithm using boundary detection to identify the largest available open space for seamless template insertion on complex boards.
Performance Engineering: Revamped the template dashboard via virtualized lazy-loading and observer-based rendering, reducing initial load times by 75% (from ~4.5s to sub-500ms) for enterprise workspaces with 10,000+ assets.
Dev Velocity (CMS Engine): Eliminated engineering bottlenecks by architecting a high-performance sync engine between MongoDB and Contentful, enabling non-technical teams to manage content directly and removing 100% of engineering dependency for metadata updates.
Modernization: Improved cross-team delivery speed by modularizing a legacy React codebase into domain-driven TypeScript modules, reducing inter-dependency friction for 20+ engineering teams.
2021 — 2022
Payment Infrastructure: Scaled payment processor gateways using Node.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL to support a 71% increase in daily transaction volume ($10M+).
Platform Scaling: Supported an 83% increase in user onboarding by resolving systemic bugs and building administrative tools with Node.js and Vue3.
System Reliability: Maintained high availability for transaction services during a period of 58% transaction growth by refactoring queue management and error handling in GCP.
Architecture & Design: Designed a new debiting system for fund separation to meet requirements for major capital investments from institutional partners.
Microservices Migration: Led the migration of team domains from a monorepo to independent microservices using Node.js, Next.js, and RabbitMQ.
Error Automation: Reduced unhandled transaction errors by 85% by implementing automated error resolutions and integrating Salesforce for manual intervention workflows.
2020 — 2021
Application Development: Developed a system for immediate credit card access and digital wallet integration (Apple Pay/PayPal) using React, Node, Spring, and PostgreSQL.
Internationalization: Localized acquisition applications for the Canadian market, supporting a monthly growth of 25,000+ new users.
Technical Partnerships: Expanded digital wallet functionality by collaborating with external engineering teams to integrate Apple Pay and PayPal Pay.
Cloud Architecture: Architected and delivered an MVP for a core Digital Acquisitions platform on AWS, including component libraries and internationalization support.
DevOps & Testing: Built automated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub, and maintained 95%+ code coverage through Jasmine unit and integration testing.
Web Applications: Built a cloud-based collaboration tool for the construction industry using Canvas and React, enabling real-time markup of large-scale PDF proposals.
Performance Engineering: Converted the core platform to a Progressive Web App (PWA), reducing load times to under one second and improving user retention.
