Experience

  1. June 2023 — Present

    • Designed and maintained REST APIs and event-driven services (Flask, Node.js) and migrated legacy MySQL workloads to Supabase/Postgres with zero-downtime cutover using phased read/write routing.
    • Built media and lead pipelines: upload → transcode (Coconut.co) → store (GCS/Supabase) → signed delivery; automated attribution, follow-ups, and webhook fan-out (Twilio, SendGrid).
    • Implemented scheduled jobs and background workers (Rocketry/cron + Redis) for analytics aggregation, email drips, and SLA-critical retries.
    • Instrumented product analytics and warehousing (Jitsu → BigQuery) for cohorting, funnel metrics, UTM/source attribution, and unit-level engagement insights.
    • Hardened platform: JWT/OAuth, rate limiting, CORS policies, audit logs, secrets mgmt via env/CI; added Sentry error tracing and structured logging.
    • Built reusable React/Next.js modules and state patterns (Zustand) for embeddable tour widgets, scheduler, and AI chat; shipped performance wins via code-splitting and image/CDN tuning.
    • Delivered PMS integrations (Entrata/Yardi) for unit syncing, lead ingestion, and status webhooks; added idempotent handlers and backfill tooling.

  2. Aug 2021 — May 2023

    • Developed scalable REST APIs (Node.js/Express) with input validation (Joi), RBAC, rate limiting, and request correlation for observability.
    • Integrated APIs with React apps and standardized state using Redux Toolkit; shipped pagination, optimistic updates, and error boundaries.
    • Adopted Next.js SSR/ISR for SEO-critical pages and faster TTFB; built dynamic routing and edge-friendly caching strategies.
    • Delivered OpenAI-powered features (prompt orchestration, safety filters) across medical datasets and job platforms with guardrails and auditability.
    • Optimized MongoDB with compound indexes, TTL collections, and background migrations; implemented CI/CD, containerized services, and health checks.

    • Implemented Redux Toolkit patterns and normalized entities for performant lists, offline-friendly flows, and predictable updates.
    • Modeled scalable MongoDB schemas with Mongoose (refs, partial indexes, lean queries) to improve query performance and reliability.
    • Integrated front-end API layers with robust forms (React Hook Form/Yup), route guards, and lazy loading to reduce bundle size.
    • Mentored interns on MERN fundamentals, code reviews, and Git workflows; introduced linting, Prettier, and commit hooks.
