    Jun 2024 - Jun 2025 (1 year 1 month)
    As a QA/QC Coder, I was responsible for identifying correctness, performance, and edge-case failures, which reinforced defensive coding and reliability best practices. I contributed to AI systems designed to automate and scale software engineering workflows, ensuring high-quality outputs. Additionally, I optimized and refactored Python LangChain code, along with JavaScript and Swift business logic, utilizing functional programming techniques to align our code with industry best practices. This experience not only enhanced the robustness of our enterprise codebase but also deepened my expertise in software development and quality assurance, particularly within the realm of AI product development.

    MERN Developer (Contract) public Remote experience
    Entail
    Mar 2021 - May 2022 (1 year 3 months)
    As a MERN Developer (Contract), I built SEO-focused web infrastructure utilizing AWS S3 to deliver thousands of pre-rendered React pages, which eliminated the need for always-on SSR servers, significantly reducing compute and operational costs while enhancing crawlability and page load performance. I debugged and extended editorial tooling using slate.js to add features which improved collaboration and publishing velocity. Additionally, I employed TypeScript in our development process to ensure type safety, thereby enhancing code reliability and maintainability across the project.
