Led architecture and engineering for a distributed medical platform requiring strict security and identity verification; implemented secure-by-design authentication layers and migrated sensitive modules to WebAssembly to improve security and reproducibility.

Performed cross-functional diagnostics and rebuilt data-dependent components of an inspection platform, reducing distributed data inconsistencies and increasing throughput across mobile-to-cloud pipelines; product was acquired by ACV Auctions.

Led engineering and rebuilt a production platform for secure document processing and identity verification workflows, designing deterministic calculation engines for accuracy, auditability, and traceability for enterprise clients.

Delivered an iOS social application and mentored a distributed mobile engineering team while owning technical direction, feature prioritization, and delivery standards.

Built a cloud-native recommendation engine with secure user identity, permissions, and PCI-compliant payment workflows; led engineering across frontend, backend, and mobile.

Delivered a secure streaming video platform for millions of users, led a mobile engineering team, established sprint cycles, and owned technical delivery of the streaming platform.

Built compute-heavy indexing agents and ETL pipelines for enterprise conceptual search deployments, implemented authentication and multi-node distributed architectures for large clients and briefly served as project manager for an integration effort.

Developed real-time compute kernels and pipelines for high-frequency biomechanical signals, designing systems that ensured reliability, precision, and validated outputs for research applications.
