Full-Stack Engineer at ToolsWeb, building Cloudflare edge platforms and an MCP server for AI agent workflows.

At ToolsWeb, I architected and built a web utility platform with Next.js, Bun, and Payload CMS, deployed across Cloudflare Workers. I also developed an edge-native MCP server with OAuth 2.0 and API-key authentication to expose CMS content to AI agent workflows.

At ToolsWeb, I implemented caching with Cloudflare KV and D1 tag cache, cutting database queries while maintaining sub-50ms TTFB across edge regions. I automated deployment, data migration, and rollback pipelines with Bun scripts and Wrangler CI automation.

At Jam SEO Agency, I built and launched a headless marketing and publishing platform using Next.js and Payload CMS. I engineered an incremental cache handler on Cloudflare R2 and structured automated D1 schema migrations and an asset pipeline feeding into Cloudflare CDN.

On TurboSync, I engineered an edge-native video synchronization platform for remote users watching offline media together. I used Cloudflare Durable Objects and WebSockets for room state and synchronization, and built a client-side reconciliation engine to keep playback aligned across varying network latencies.
