I’m a Software Development Engineer with 2 years of experience building scalable Full Stack applications using Agile/Scrum methodologies. I focus on performance optimization, end-to-end module ownership, and delivering high-impact solutions from first feature to production readiness.

In my current role, I built an analytics dashboard for core modules, supporting a flagship government client (APCRDA). I also developed a real-time messaging system using Socket.io with typing indicators, read receipts, and presence tracking—so users get a responsive, reliable experience.

On the engineering side, I’ve consistently driven measurable improvements: I optimized MongoDB performance using query profiling and indexing across 50+ collections, reducing server response time by 80% and achieving 5×–120× faster data retrieval. I accelerated read-heavy hierarchical data by 2–5x by migrating from parent-ID traversal to nested sets architecture, and I integrated Google Maps API with marker clustering to efficiently render thousands of site locations.

I’m equally hands-on with scalable systems work, including direct-to-S3 multipart uploads (reducing backend load by 60%), binary semaphore-based locking to prevent race conditions, and building a singleton MongoDB model wrapper for consistent custom pre/post operations. I also enjoy user-centric engineering—like a canvas-based seat selection UI that renders 1M+ elements smoothly, plus user-configurable keyboard shortcuts—and I’ve integrated secure authentication via Microsoft Single Sign-On (SSO).
