Background
I shipped distributed systems, real-time APIs, and SaaS platforms while learning systems design through production code. I care about reliability, performance, and clean architecture.
Focused on: database design, query optimization, async systems, cloud infrastructure, and building systems that scale without surprises.
Professional Experience
Software engineering internships building production systems
Software Engineering Intern
CurrentEmergtech Business Solutions Inc.
Multi-tenant AI orchestration platform
Built backend systems for a multi-tenant SaaS platform that orchestrates AI workflows. Designed and implemented REST APIs, managed database schema evolution, and collaborated with the team through production pull requests and code reviews. Worked on features involving OAuth, third-party API integration (Jira), and AI model coordination.
- ▸Multi-tenant backend architecture
- ▸REST API design and implementation
- ▸OAuth integration for third-party apps
- ▸AI orchestration and workflow management
- ▸Production code review and collaboration
Software Engineering Intern
PreviousDigeon Technologies LLC
Production backend microservices
Developed and maintained Flask microservices in a production environment. Worked across multiple services handling billing, user management, and content delivery. Designed database schemas, implemented REST APIs, managed Docker containerization, and participated in cloud infrastructure decisions on AWS. Gained hands-on experience with payment processing, CI/CD pipelines, and production deployments.
- ▸Flask microservices across multiple domains
- ▸Payment processing with Stripe
- ▸Database schema design and migrations
- ▸Docker containerization and deployment
- ▸AWS infrastructure (EC2, RDS)
- ▸Production debugging and monitoring
Featured Projects
Personal projects demonstrating backend engineering depth
Solana Market Intelligence Platform
Real-time data ingestion and stream processing
Built a distributed backend that processes market data and generates trading signals. The system handles WebSocket feeds in real-time, runs ML pipelines asynchronously, and serves an API for paper trading. Designed around low latency and high throughput to handle hundreds of messages per second.
- ▸500+ events per second ingestion
- ▸P95 API latency: 45ms
- ▸Async worker architecture for ML pipelines
- ▸Real-time WebSocket updates
The Pickle Nest
Geospatial search and complex data relationships
Engineered the backend for a platform that helps users discover nearby games through intelligent matching. The system handles geospatial queries at scale, manages 22 related database models, and exposes 49 REST APIs. Built with production-grade architecture including PostGIS indexing and strategic caching.
- ▸49 production APIs with clear semantics
- ▸22 normalized database models
- ▸Sub-200ms geospatial queries
- ▸70% cache hit rate with Redis
Success Society
Multi-tenant SaaS with payment orchestration
Built a multi-tenant SaaS platform that coordinates multiple external services (Stripe, Anthropic, Discord) for lead generation and subscription management. Implemented metered billing, row-level security for data isolation, and saga patterns for reliable service orchestration.
- ▸Zero billing reconciliation errors
- ▸100% multi-tenant data isolation via RLS
- ▸Metered billing with Stripe
- ▸External service orchestration
