Senior Software Engineer at Turing building RLHF tools and coding datasets to train and evaluate large language models.

At Turing, I build internal tools for RLHF work, including task assignment, review queues, and quality checks used by annotators and reviewers. I also write and review coding problems, solutions, and unit tests for model training.

I built a live progress dashboard with Next.js and WebSockets so team leads could track throughput and queue backlogs. After tracing slow task screens to repeated data fetching, I moved the data layer to React Query caching and deduplication, cutting load time by about 40%.

Across my work at Sety, Netzstrategen, Rapidpay Africa, Stackonly, and Roothub, I’ve shipped web, mobile, and backend products, including a nutrition-tracking PWA used by 100K+ patients and a real-time crypto pricing service. My core stack includes React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and Python.
