What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team that values ownership and fast learning—where I can build real-time, analytics-driven web products. I want to work on scalable data pipelines, clean frontend architecture, and measurable performance improvements.

I’m a full-stack software engineer with an ownership-driven mindset and a curiosity for learning. I turn ambiguous problems into scalable, reliable systems that ship measurable outcomes—especially across analytics and data-driven products.

At Galvor.ai, I built a Chrome extension that scrapes Instagram and YouTube creator data in real time and streams it into Kafka ingestion pipelines. I also implemented LLM-powered classification using OpenAI with vector embeddings and Langfuse prompt tracing to identify categories with confidence scores.

I design reusable frontend architecture with Next.js and JavaScript, and I’ve implemented performant backend components with Go and Python. I built ranking and benchmarking systems to improve discovery quality and enable clearer campaign insights.

Previously, as an SDE Intern, I delivered an interactive ads dashboard and analytics experiences, improving performance by reducing initial load time significantly. I also build end-to-end products through freelance work and projects, including real-time editing and SEO-optimized EdTech platforms.
