What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and optimize scalable systems, solve challenging technical problems, and contribute to backend or full-stack products with a strong engineering culture.

At Noxveil, I architect third-party API integrations that support syncing 1,000,000+ products and 100,000+ active user orders using distributed Celery fan-out patterns and Redis.

I've also built real-time chat and emote systems for Chance App with Socket.IO and Node.js, and developed a graph-based hand-sorting algorithm that reduced evaluation from 3.6M permutations to about 50K in 0.1 seconds.

My foundation spans Python, Django, PostgreSQL, Node.js, and distributed systems, backed by competitive programming experience and mentoring students in algorithms and data structures.

Feb 2024 - Sep 2024 (7 months)

Enhanced multiplayer engagement by implementing real-time chat and emote systems using Socket.IO and Node.js, ensuring reliable state synchronization across clients. Engineered a graph-based backtracking algorithm for hand sorting that prunes the search space from 3.6M permutations to ~50K evaluations, achieving 0.1s average processing time.
