The Intern
Software Engineering Intern
Started as a frontend engineer, mastering React and building APIs on the side. I built a comprehensive internal inventory system from scratch, transforming chaotic product information into a structured, organized digital resource for the company.
Built real-time alert aggregation system handling 5,000+ events/second
Reduced API latency by 40% through database query optimization
Gained deep understanding of ClickHouse, Kafka, and event streaming architecture
Mentored by architects who shaped how I think about scalability
The Software Engineer
Software Engineer
Transitioned from intern to full-time engineer with expanded responsibility. Led architecture decisions for critical infrastructure, owned the entire observability stack, and learned that good engineering is about empowering teams, not just writing code.
Architected real-time event processing with Apache Flink for 10,000+ events/sec
Migrated from ELK to ClickHouse, achieving 50% faster queries on billions of logs
Built comprehensive observability stack: Prometheus, Grafana, custom dashboards
Designed API ingestion pipelines with 15x throughput improvement
The Lead Backend & Systems Engineer
