I’m a Full Stack Developer focused on designing and implementing workflow automation, internal tools, and scalable applications. I’ve led the development of 8+ production-grade SaaS products, integrating modern engineering frameworks to support business-critical processes and serving 50,000+ monthly users, with strong emphasis on application integration and efficiency.

Most recently, I’ve been rebuilding the student visa express application from a legacy codebase to Next.js 16 with shadcn/ui, Redux Toolkit, and TanStack Query, covering core flows like onboarding, dashboard, SOP builder, documents, and legal review. On the backend, I built a Node.js/Express service with Prisma ORM across 11 data models and delivered admin login and admin actions to manage client cases and application data. I also develop AI engineering features using the OpenAI API for visa survey generation, SOP drafting, and document red-flag detection, plus a TypeScript/Bun crawler (Firecrawl + S3) that ingests multi-country immigration docs into a structured Markdown knowledge base.

Before that, I built a financial analytics platform at Publicis Sapient (Wellington Management) using React.js, React Query, GraphQL, and Express.js on AWS, supporting 3,000+ monthly users with 99% uptime through bi-weekly production releases. I led a frontend team of 3 engineers, reviewed 200+ PRs, established code standards, and mentored 2 junior developers—cutting onboarding time by 40%. I also handled data engineering by writing Python/Pandas ETL pipelines from Bloomberg and MSCI sources and routing validated results into a data lake, while earlier roles strengthened my component architecture and workflow integration experience.
