Working across the full stack: Python/Django on the backend, React on web and React Native on mobile. Currently on the creator platform.

• Own performance and reliability for the creator app across the web app, Django backend and React Native shell, making it faster to open and more stable for creators.
• Handle the Android and React Native upgrades needed to stay on the Play Store, and fix long-standing crashes and deep-link issues.
• Improve load-time instrumentation so the team has numbers it can trust, and set up end-to-end testing with Maestro so releases depend less on manual QA.
• On the shopping app (1M MAU, v1, since sunset), built Python/Django REST APIs and Celery pipelines, and shipped Stories, Filters, Creator Discovery and Notifications.
• Cut startup time from 4s to under 1.5s and CPU and memory use by about 50%, and optimized shorts/reels playback.

Led architecture and end-to-end delivery across mission-critical B2B and B2C products, setting technical direction while staying hands-on across the stack.

• Architected an internal data platform end to end: Node.js services that scraped and cleaned data, exposed it through APIs, and powered a Google Sheets UI backed by MongoDB, with ETL scripts that let solver teams verify and modify data at scale.
• Built a Chrome extension that lets users screenshot a math problem on any page and get a step-by-step solution with interactive chat and hints.
• Drove a B2C mobile app where students photograph a problem and learn core concepts through drag-and-drop inputs, charts and graphs.
• Designed backend APIs in Python/Django, helped set up CI/CD with the DevOps team, and guided 10+ engineers and interns through architecture, standards, code review and mentorship.

Built ByteLearn's B2B platform for schools, powering teaching and learning at scale.

• Owned and built the B2B student platform end to end: step-by-step problem solving through an interactive chatbot that builds real conceptual understanding. Later inherited the teacher platform and drove new features in assignment creation and grading workflows.
• Designed the systems behind automated grading, learning-gap identification and targeted practice, helping students improve where it mattered most.
• Built the backend in Python/Django with PostgreSQL, and the frontend in React and Next.js.
• Designed high-throughput REST APIs and automated ETL pipelines to process data at scale, and partnered with AI (chatbot) and DevOps teams to ship interactive features.
