Joined as founding engineer right after getting $5M seed with 10 people in the office, and participated in building zero to many for 3.5 years - 150+ employees, $108M+ funding. - Spearheaded the development of the Playground from scratch and maintained ownership of the project for over 2+ years. - Contributed to enterprise projects, including collaborations with high-profile customers. - Supported the GTM team in resolving technical challenges faced by small business clients in the early stages. - Proactively identified product improvements and delivered them by leveraging a deep understanding of client-server interactions and inference systems.
Built and led product engineering for Pagecall’s online education SaaS platform. Worked across customer-facing features, frontend architecture, sprint execution, and platform foundations. Helped grow the client base 4x, reduce bug reports by 75%, and turn an internal dashboard into a production SaaS platform that contributed to a $16.5K/month customer contract within three months. Built an in-house state management system for complex asynchronous workflows, introduced structured QA, and helped establish reusable foundations including authentication, frontend components, and a design system.
Led development of an internal security incident analysis tool inside a restricted military network environment. The constraints were very different from a startup - limited infrastructure, strict deployment conditions, and technical users who needed reliability more than polish. I built interactive workflows for security analysis, deployed the product on bare-metal infrastructure, led engineering sprints, and mentored junior engineers.
- Selected as one of 100 finalists for a prestigious 6-month developer training program. - Built a service to convert conversation into medical records using STT and LSTM models.
