My Professional Journey
A timeline of my career highlights and key projects.
Software Development Intern, Pirate Alert
Embarked on my career, focusing on web scraping and data processing for anti-piracy. Developed early projects from scratch, notably self-teaching Node.js and pioneering mobile crawling for social media platforms.
PHP Development Intern, Airpay Payment Services
Built an admin panel from scratch, creating generic components that led to an 80% reduction in redundant code and were seamlessly integrated into the project's next version.
Software Developer, Airpay Payment Services
Transitioned to a full-time role, leading development for omnichannel payment platforms. Achieved a 25% performance boost and 88.75% build time reduction by migrating from monolithic to microservices. Also led a small team for a B2C project, ensuring sub-3 second response times, and spearheaded cloud migrations.
Senior Software Engineer, Airpay Financial Technologies
Promoted to Senior Software Engineer, driving significant optimizations and new product development. For a highly challenging project, proactively adopted GoLang to achieve 1.5-second response times and an impressive 10-millisecond cold start, proving a new, highly efficient architecture.
Senior Software Developer, Quloi
Joined Quloi to re-architect and streamline a complex project. Introduced improved architecture and implemented scalable API calls using serverless functions, bringing order and functionality.
SWE II, Incred Money
Software Engineer II on Incred Money Partners, a well-written B2B2C platform. Built the user-facing Bullion module — digital gold and silver, rewards by amount or weight, and SIP. Queued SIP webhooks so partner 20 req/s limits hold across two burst windows (12:30–2:30am and 8–10am, up to 6109 transactions). Owned US Stock pricing and listing with stale-while-revalidate caching, and managed two small integration teams.
