5+ years building for the web. Frontends, APIs, databases. But my heart’s in the backend. Lately I’m deep in AI engineering: hybrid search, embeddings, and RAG pipelines that actually ship to production.
Automated browser-based automotive diagnostic workflows using Node.js, TypeScript, and Selenium WebDriver, replacing manual QA execution with automated vehicle condition checks including door operations and engine-start validation.
Architected a Dockerized multimedia processing pipeline for a virtual karaoke application using Node.js and FFmpeg, handling audio/video ingestion, AI-driven vocal separation via Spleeter, synchronized background video generation, and dynamic lyric overlays from multiple format parsers.
Owned frontend, API, and database design as a core contributor on an inventory and sales management platform; optimized SQL queries through indexing and restructuring, integrated Meilisearch for instant product search, and implemented idempotency safeguards that eliminated duplicate financial entries.
Developed responsive interfaces for a multi-timezone course enrollment platform using React, Ant Design, and Tailwind CSS, supporting region-based scheduling, localized pricing, and automated delivery of class and meeting links.
Refactored a legacy business management codebase to improve maintainability and file organization; resolved client-reported issues and implemented paginated, filterable REST APIs with analytics integration.
Mentored 4 engineering interns through onboarding, code reviews, and debugging sessions while collaborating with Product Managers to scope features and manage sprint deliverables using ClickUp and Linear.

Implemented responsive user interfaces for an e-commerce platform based on UI/UX design specifications.
Integrated RESTful APIs with frontend components and developed reusable React components to improve UI consistency and accelerate feature delivery.
A local-first RAG knowledge system for natural-language search over personal documents, combining semantic and BM25 retrieval with RRF, cross-encoder reranking, and streaming AI responses.
A scalable, event-driven social media backend built with a microservices architecture. I built this project to gain hands-on experience with microservices architecture.
A production-style personal finance application for tracking income and expenses, with authentication, relational data modeling, transaction management, and spending analytics.
