As a founding engineer of the Japan Search Retrieval team, I owned two of three core OKRs for Indeed's Japan business, significantly impacting global revenue. I reduced P95 query latency by 40% by architecting a caching layer for Japan's 208GB job index, achieving a 75% hit rate across 13K+ unique queries per 5 minutes.

I developed automated conformance test cases for ETSI NFV APIs and integrated them with ONAP’s VNF Test Platform (VTP). This work enabled OVP certification of VNFs, contributing to the open-source community.

I developed an end-to-end application for managing Indeed’s internal resources and implemented bulk APIs to aggregate data from three internal tools into a unified endpoint. This project was successfully deployed to production, leading to a pre-placement offer.

I developed an RNN/LSTM-based model to forecast hourly power demand for industrial plants. Additionally, I built a fault detection system for solar panels using weather and power output data.

I mentored pre-university students contributing to the OpenWISP open-source project. My responsibilities included guiding them through tasks and conducting code reviews.

I contributed over 100 patches to the Linux kernel, focusing on code refactoring and efficiency improvements. This involved using tools like checkpatch and coccinelle to enhance code quality.
