iOS Developer

StrideBound

Building StrideBound to make distance running feel purposeful and fun: a quest-driven iOS experience that blends fitness utility with game progression.

• Owning end-to-end iOS development in Swift/UIKit, including reliable movement tracking with Core Location and complete run lifecycle handling.
• Designing progression, inventory, and run-history systems so the product feels like a cohesive game, not just a tracker with features layered on top.
• Structuring core flows with modular components and clear state boundaries to keep iteration fast as the product direction evolves.

DashBill

Helped translate a complex tax-filing process into guided product flows that users could complete with less confusion and higher confidence.

• Built React.js onboarding and filing workflows with uploads, validation, and structured data collection across user and organization contexts.
• Implemented Express.js + MongoDB APIs and Stripe billing paths to connect product flows from intake through checkout.
• Contributed across feature delivery and AWS deployment in an Agile team, iterating directly from client feedback.

Full-Stack Software Engineer

CupQuest

Focused on making social interaction a core product experience by building features that made CupQuest feel collaborative and alive.

• Built real-time chat with Socket.io to support live community interaction.
• Shipped in Agile cycles with scoped milestones, shared ownership, and iterative delivery.

Backend Engineer

Questions & Answers Microservices API

Built a high-throughput backend project to sharpen system design instincts around service boundaries, query performance, and reliability.

• Designed Node.js/Express services for question-and-answer workflows with clear API and data ownership.
• Optimized PostgreSQL read paths and added Redis caching to improve response times for repeated query patterns.
• Containerized the stack with Docker and configured NGINX to validate routing and end-to-end behavior in a production-like setup.

Automation Engineer

Flyclicker (Drosophila Clicker)

Built Flyclicker to turn repetitive lab-style workflows into configurable automation, and it became one of the projects that first shaped my engineering identity.

• Created a Python automation tool that watches a selected screen region for motion/visual change, then triggers configurable clicks or keystrokes.
• Designed tunable thresholds, delays, and coordinates so the workflow could be adapted to different repetitive task patterns.
• Monitored CPU and memory behavior to keep long-running sessions stable and practical for day-to-day use.
