- Expanded application capabilities and user engagement by successfully shipping major full-stack features.
[Tech]
Backend: Ruby/Rails, PostgreSQL | Frontend: VueJS, Vuetify | Tools: Linux/MacOS CLI tools, git/Github, JIRA, Slack | AI: Claude Code
- Improved app stability and performance by using CLI and ROR tools to trace, target and fix app issues and performance bottlenecks.
- Assisted the company in implementing business requirements, keeping it competitive and performant while meeting stakeholder requirements consistently (Research on feasibility, implementation planning, task breakdown, and feature implementation).
- Containerized the codebase for easier developer on-boarding, development cycles, and app deployment.
- Enhanced app stability and user capacity by stress-testing and optimizing Linode server instances.
- Accelerated feature deployment velocity and code maintainability by leading the structural migration from a monolithic Ruby on Rails setup to a modern, decoupled RoR API and VueJS architecture.
- Enhanced platform accessibility and secure user authentication for app users by implementing robust Single Sign-On (SSO) and data syncing workflows through deep-level integrations with ClassLink and Clever API ecosystems.
[Tech]
Backend: Ruby/Rails, PostgreSQL | Frontend: VueJS, Vuetify | Tools: Linux/MacOS CLI tools, git/Github, JIRA, Slack | DevOps: Docker, Cloud66, AWS, Linode, K6, Grafana | AI: Cursor AI
- Maintained high application uptime and modernized legacy components throughout a decade-long career progression from Junior to Senior Web Developer, by rooting out app issues and engineering resilient hotfixes for critical production bugs.
- Translated complex business requirements into scalable technical roadmaps by leading cross-functional consultations with stakeholders to architect new system modules and modernize legacy enterprise features from conception to deployment.
- Orchestrated team discussion on targets/goals and structured task distributions for efficient implementation, collaborating closely to ensure smooth progress.
- Enhanced user experience and minimized data download bottlenecks by writing performant SQL queries and refactoring legacy database interactions to optimize SQL query execution plans, significantly increasing backend data throughput.
- Improved teacher productivity and workflow efficiency by overhauling the frontend architecture for exam sheet generation, implementing optimized print stylesheets, asynchronous rendering, and lightweight data structures to deliver exam sheets even at bulk quantities.
- Automated large-scale data ingestion and cross-platform synchronization by developing fault-tolerant external integrations, utilizing PHP and PostgreSQL to handle secure, high-volume data exchanges with third-party vendors.
[Tech]
Backend: PHP, PostgreSQL | Frontend: Javascript, JQuery, VueJS | Tools: Linux/MacOS CLI tools, git/Github, JIRA, Slack | AI: Gemini, Claude, Ollama, and other local LLM tools
- Delivered and managed a portfolio of custom web solutions as an independent freelance developer, driving projects from initial requirement gathering through full-stack development, cloud hosting deployment, and ongoing technical maintenance.
- Streamlined municipal administrative workflows and reduced manual data entry for a local government unit by designing and maintaining custom desktop solutions, leveraging Visual Basic 6 and MSSQL Server to automate public record management and reporting.
- Empowered aspiring developers with full-stack and hardware engineering fundamentals by instructing diverse cohorts in technical coursework, translating low-level concepts (Assembly and logic circuits) and high-level development into actionable, real-world skills.
- Drove business operations and end-to-end technical support by founding and operating a retail internet cafe for 2 years (handling LAN administration, hardware provisioning, OS deployments, and service delivery).
- Executed end-to-end creation of independent Android apps by translating personal product concepts into production-ready applications, managing UI/UX prototyping, native feature integration, and app development workflows using Flutter.
