At Targeted News Service, I single-handedly architected and deployed a Python web scraping platform that has continuously collected more than 100,000 documents on live servers.

I automated the press-release triage pipeline, contributing to a 5% revenue increase and enabling real-time targeted news delivery. I own requirements gathering, architecture, deployment, maintenance, performance tuning, and code quality workflows.

I've also built real-time multiplayer web apps with React, Express, Socket.IO, and Spotify APIs, and implemented operating-system and shell components in C and Rust.
