Experience
- Software Engineer · MS INFO TECH07-01-2025 –
Architected a scalable Chat-to-PDF platform using TypeScript and LangChain.js, building modular pipelines to parse, index, and summarize complex documents for high-performance semantic search retrieval. Improved retrieval precision by 40% via Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) using Qdrant vector stores and OpenAI embeddings to ground LLM responses in enterprise data. Minimized hallucinations by implementing a Corrective RAG mechanism that validates retrieval context against query intent, ensuring 99.9% reliability by filtering irrelevant data chunks.
- Back End Developer · MatchMakers05-01-2024 – 05-01-2025
Engineered a high-throughput backend using Express.js and Hasura GraphQL, orchestrating secure data flow between client applications and PostgreSQL databases to support real-time matchmaking logic. Enhanced profile verification accuracy by integrating AWS Rekognition for face similarity checks, eliminating manual review for over 500 daily uploads and streamlining user onboarding. Reduced static asset load times by 40% and optimized bandwidth usage by implementing an AWS CloudFront CDN backed by S3 buckets, leveraging edge caching strategies to ensure low-latency content delivery for global users.
- Full Stack Developer · Areteans08-01-2022 – 02-01-2023
Developed robust insurance policy management modules using Node.js, designing RESTful APIs to automate risk assessment checks and data aggregation for instant quote generation. Decreased production runtime errors by 35% by refactoring legacy JavaScript codebases into strongly-typed TypeScript services, effectively enforcing type safety and improving maintainability during bi-weekly Agile sprints. Improved frontend performance with React hooks and lazy loading, reducing initial page load latency from 3 seconds to 1.2 seconds.
