Software Engineer at MojaSpark LLC who built Gift Moja, a gift exchange platform for creating groups, drawing matches, and sharing wishlists.
What I'm looking for
At MojaSpark LLC, I built Gift Moja, a gift exchange platform where users create groups, draw matches, and share wishlists. I developed its React and TypeScript front end and Python REST APIs with FastAPI, then designed the PostgreSQL data model.
At Meta Platforms, Inc, I re-architected Traffic Ads serving infrastructure to unify link-click and landing-page-view experiences without Meta Pixel dependencies, improving attribution accuracy. I also contributed to design reviews, automated testing, and production debugging for the distributed ads-serving system.
At ShipShap Inc, I designed and built a mobile app, website, and microservice-based backend integrating shipping-carrier APIs. At Amazon.com, I worked on seller verification and payment services, and optimized Kindle's telemetry collection infrastructure.
