Experience
ConveGenius.AI
Migrated a legacy Vanilla JavaScript application to a scalable React.js front-end, improving system performance by 18% and reducing technical debt by 40%
Developed and tested robust APIs using Express.js and engineered comprehensive CRUD applications, which increased data retrieval speed by 25% and enhanced data accuracy by 99.5%
Contributed to a core project that improved data accessibility and usability, resulting in a 30% increase in data-entry efficiency within the child tracking system
Stripe
Enhanced developer productivity by implementing advanced filtering capabilities and a new metadata system (tags, difficulty, language), which reduced the average time to find relevant code samples by 25%
Optimized sample content management by restructuring the data model to include new fields like DisplayName and Category, enabling a 30% faster update cycle for samples while maintaining no breaking changes for users
Enhanced the discoverability of specialized code samples by introducing a new tagging system, resulting in a 45% increase in engagement with less-popular samples
Projects
Developed an agentic AI desktop assistant that autonomously interacts with and executes tasks across any desktop application, reducing manual work by 50%. Integrated vision capabilities (Gemini Pro) with automation to perform complex, multi-application workflows.
Key Highlights:
- 50% reduction in manual work
- Multi-application workflows
- Vision-powered automation
Designed and implemented a pricing model that integrated real-time weather data with historical commodity price trends, improving prediction accuracy by 18% compared to baseline linear models. Built a full-stack dashboard enabling users to simulate weather scenarios and view projected price impacts.
Key Highlights:
- 18% improved prediction accuracy
- Real-time weather integration
- Full-stack dashboard
Developed a secure marketplace web app for students to buy/sell furniture and sublet housing, implementing JWT-based authentication and .edu email verification. Built with React + Node.js + MongoDB stack with image uploads and optimized search filters.
Key Highlights:
- JWT-based authentication
- .edu email verification
- Optimized search indexing
