At Poodles PetCare, I architect and build a production pet-care platform serving 100K+ users, 240K+ pets, 78K MAU, and 5K DAU across web and mobile.
I lead a five-person engineering team and own architecture through production delivery, spanning React, React Native, Node.js, TypeScript, Python, databases, APIs, and AWS infrastructure. I also built VetiQ, an AI-powered pet health assistant handling approximately 10K–15K conversations daily through RAG, semantic search, AI agents, and structured tool access.
Previously at Farmkal Agritech, I developed a platform serving 100K+ farmers and improved daily active users by 40% and session duration by 55%. I built crop advisory, marketplace, logistics, pricing, analytics, and offline-first mobile capabilities for low-connectivity regions.
Across B2B commerce, SaaS, Agritech, marketplaces, and PetTech, I've delivered end-to-end products and improved performance, including reducing First Contentful Paint from 2.8s to 1.1s and JavaScript bundle size by 35%.
