I’m a Lead Full-Stack Engineer at Whoppah, and I build agent-first developer tooling for teams shipping real products—not demos. I joined as the second engineer and was promoted twice, moving from Senior Backend to Lead Full-Stack while staying hands-on across web, mobile, and backend.

I shipped image-based and semantic search across 200k+ active listings using a multimodal pipeline (Claude vision for visual attribute extraction + Typesense vector retrieval), lifting conversion by 60%. I also led a zero-downtime storage migration from Google Cloud Storage to Backblaze B2 + Bunny CDN, cutting monthly egress spend from $6k+ to under $500 (90% reduction) while keeping the live catalog continuously serving.

To make AI agents truly useful in production, I built internal MCP tooling: an MCP server with read-only access to listings, orders, sellers, and search indices. I paired that with A/B testing infrastructure on Statsig and a custom Next.js Pages Router provider, powering 20+ experiments across ranking, onboarding, and checkout.

My work blends typed APIs and strong data contracts—like a typed GraphQL gateway (Apollo Server + Kysely) over a 200-table PostgreSQL schema owned by a Django service with Zod validation. I also author open-source tools like OfferKit, TypesenseKit, and revcat, focused on safe agent execution, clear risk levels, and production-grade observability.
