Paurush Rai

I’m a product-focused Senior Software Engineer with almost 5 years of experience shipping end-to-end systems—scalable web apps, developer tools, and integrations. I focus on automating workflows, improving performance, and delivering measurable business impact.

In my current role, I architected MetaNotes, an AI meeting notetaker that records, transcribes, and summarizes automatically—saving $24K annually. I also built reusable frontend infrastructure (a private npm component library adopted across 6+ repos), delivered a Jira timesheets plugin to improve cost visibility (saving $9K+), and engineered a VS Code extension to auto-track coding time—cutting manual tracking by 60–70%. Beyond that, I implemented AI-driven interview workflows (Chat/Voice/Video AI), built an LTI-compliant integration for major LMS platforms, and led performance optimization that lifted Lighthouse scores to 87/91.

Previously, I built and scaled customer-facing web applications and admin tooling, including a kiosk frontend that reduced fuel dispensing time by 60% and dashboards that reduced resolution time by 60–70%. I’ve also modernized legacy websites by migrating to Astro.js Jamstack with headless CMS, and I integrate observability tools like Sentry and Clarity to speed up issue resolution and improve actionable insights. I’m at my best when I can turn complex workflows into reliable, reusable systems—without sacrificing speed, quality, or developer experience.
