Tech Lead / Backend Engineer · Apr 2026 to Jun 2026

Tech lead over an 11-engineer backend and frontend team building Anvila, an AI-agent manifest generator, shipped in under a month. Alongside that, built Insighta Labs solo: a demographic-intelligence API with dual OAuth and a rule-based natural-language query parser.

• →Led both backend and frontend delivery. 4 backend engineers, 7 frontend, while remaining the top individual contributor on the frontend myself.
• →Owned database design across the entire team; every engineer extended schemas I originally built, keeping the data layer consistent as the team scaled.
• →Built the prompt-to-manifest generation pipeline and its event-publishing layer. The path that turns a user's prompt into a set of customized AI-agent manifest files. 30+ manifests generated in production use.
• →Owned all frontend-to-API integration and built several of the marketing pages.

Backend Developer · Jul 2025 to Jan 2026

Task-based gaming platform with real-money payouts. Four distinct user roles (regular, VIP, business, influencer), strict permission boundaries, and abuse-prevention logic that had to survive both ephemeral and long-lived tasks.

• →Designed the abuse-prevention layer: a hybrid Redis-TTL + join-table storage strategy that prevented reward farming across task resets, regardless of whether tasks were short-lived or non-expiring.
• →Built the webhook layer linking third-party game outcomes to internal payouts. Game ends, condition checks, reward fires, all idempotent.
• →Co-designed core schemas (user, task, reward, role) and the permission system that enforces what each user type can see and do.
• →Moved heavy operations onto Celery workers behind Redis. User-facing endpoints stopped paying for image processing and external API roundtrips.

Backend Engineer · Dec 2024 to Jul 2025

Multi-service food commerce platform connecting vendors, suppliers, and delivery operations. I owned the Supplier service end to end and stepped in as acting lead when the engineering lead left.

• →Designed and led the Supplier service from scratch: supplier lifecycle with four explicit states (pending, approved, rejected, suspended), full audit logging, and admin tooling. 500+ suppliers, ~50 products each at pilot.
• →Acted as backend lead for 8 weeks across a 7-engineer team. Reviewed architecture decisions, unblocked contributors, kept shipping. Also designed scoped JWT for safer service-to-service calls.
• →Refactored bare-except blocks and swallowed exceptions into structured error handling with consistent response shapes and full logging. Silent failures became traceable, on-call became less painful.
• →Reviewed PRs across all three backend services (Supplier, Delivery, Kitchens), keeping conventions consistent across an evolving codebase.

Backend Engineer · Oct 2025 to Dec 2025

Finalist in a globally competitive engineering internship, contributing to Sitelytics, a website analysis platform for non-technical users. Selected among ~309 finalists from 22,000+ interns.

• →Built the Admin system from scratch as sole contributor: role-based access control, user monitoring, scan tracking, admin-managed content.
• →Built the platform notification system end to end (retrieval, deletion, email delivery) and the helper utilities that standardized notifications across services, removing the inconsistent handling that existed before.
• →Contributed to the async website-scanning pipeline using background workers and Server-Sent Events for real-time scan progress in the UI.
• →Reviewed code across a 15-engineer backend team; held the bar on consistency during fast iteration. Acted as temp team lead for one sprint.
