At Place Exchange, I architect and maintain Python/Django backend services for high-volume advertising transactions. I optimized throttling and pipeline logic, reducing data-pipeline volume by 4TB and annual AWS infrastructure costs by approximately $700K.

At TrueCar Inc., I build dealer-facing platform features for inventory pricing, lead workflows, market analytics, and digital retailing. I shipped AWS Kinesis and SQS workflows for inventory synchronization and sponsored-listing fulfillment, and supported backfill logic that helped maintain 100% sponsored-slot utilization.

At Letsremotify, I architected and delivered full-stack applications supporting 100K+ monthly API requests with 99.9% uptime. I improved PostgreSQL read latency by 60% and led four engineers through delivery of three production platforms.

I also built NewsAI, an LLM-powered service for content ingestion, embeddings, and semantic retrieval using RAG-style workflows. Across my work, I’ve developed backend APIs, data pipelines, and automation for production systems, including NLP workflows at Datasaur.ai and healthcare and e-commerce platforms at Devsinc.
