Senior Software Engineer at Plego who rebuilt conversion-critical React flows and improved PostgreSQL API performance.

United States
Message

At Plego, I led delivery of production React and TypeScript applications, from frontend architecture through release and ongoing maintenance. I rebuilt conversion-critical user flows, reducing page load and interaction latency.

I also designed Node.js and TypeScript services and REST APIs, and optimized PostgreSQL schemas and queries to cut p95 response times on core endpoints. On AWS, I operated services using ECS/Fargate, S3, and CloudFront.

At EX Squared, I built customer-facing React applications and backend services for data-heavy workflows and third-party integrations. I improved API performance with caching, pagination, and PostgreSQL query optimization, and built internal tools and dashboards for operations teams.

Earlier, at Vention and Empat, I developed full-stack web application features, REST APIs, and relational data layers. I’ve also mentored engineers, contributed to technical design and engineering standards, and supported production systems through troubleshooting and durable fixes.
