A Software Engineer with experience building and operating production‑grade systems across frontend, backend, and cloud infrastructure. I focus on designing scalable architectures, shipping user‑facing features end‑to‑end, and keeping systems reliable under real‑world load.
(Yes, I also fix things that were "working fine" until someone actually used them.)
Currently, I'm the founder and engineer behind SmartReached, an AI‑powered SaaS platform that automates personalized outreach for job seekers — because manually sending 200 cold emails is a great way to lose your mind.
AI‑Powered Outreach SaaS | Next.js, TypeScript, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, AWS, Stripe
SmartReached is a production B2C SaaS platform used by 500+ active users, designed to improve cold outreach effectiveness using AI‑driven personalization.
- Built a LangChain‑based AI pipeline that analyzes company data and generates personalized outreach, increasing reply rates from 2% to 8% — a 4x improvement that my users appreciate far more than I appreciate 3 AM CloudWatch alerts.
- Designed and implemented React + TypeScript dashboards for managing campaigns, analytics, and subscriptions.
- Developed backend services using FastAPI and PostgreSQL, handling 10K+ daily API requests with rate limiting, retries, and idempotency. (Basically, I taught the API to be patient and try again — a skill I'm still working on myself.)
- Integrated Stripe subscriptions and webhooks with zero payment failures since launch. 💳 (This is the one metric I check before sleeping.)
- Deployed and operated the platform on AWS, owning infrastructure, monitoring, and reliability — and occasionally yelling at dashboards that are technically fine.

Break Reminder – Chrome Extension | React.js, Chrome APIs A productivity extension that gamifies break reminders — 500+ users, 4.8 ⭐ on the Chrome Web Store. Integrated dynamic REST API content (jokes, quotes, exercise tips) to drive engagement and built custom React components with Chrome notification APIs for seamless browser integration.
- Building end‑to‑end full‑stack systems, not isolated features (I will follow a bug from the UI all the way down to the database and personally hold it accountable)
- Designing scalable APIs and data models
- Performance optimization and reliability
- Secure authentication and authorization (OAuth 2.0, RBAC)
- Shipping products used by real users — not just localhost:3000
