Professional Experience

A detailed timeline of my professional journey, focusing on architectural leadership and scaling high-performance systems.

Senior Software Engineer

Maxwell Energy Systems
Feb 2024 - Present
  • Architected and led development of a distributed IoT platform supporting 10,000-50,000 concurrent devices, sustaining real-time communication with peak message intervals as low as 100ms.
  • Optimized an IoT analytics platform processing ~10 million data points daily through query tuning, caching, and Docker-based deployments.
  • Improved data processing throughput by 30% by identifying system bottlenecks and applying database and cache optimizations.
  • Led a time-series database migration initiative to improve write performance for high-volume workloads.
  • Resolved cross-service issues in distributed systems, improving platform stability and reliability.
  • Mentored 2 junior developers through code reviews and technical guidance, improving delivery consistency.

Software Engineer

Kadel Labs
Jul 2021 - Jan 2024
  • Built event-driven Node.js APIs enabling real-time data processing and scalable backend architecture.
  • Implemented real-time 1-1 and group chat using WebSockets and developed customizable IAM modules.
  • Led end-to-end development of 10+ production systems, most delivered independently as sole engineer, aligning technical execution with business requirements.
  • Built an IMAP-based email ticketing platform, later reused as the foundation for 8-10 other production projects, automating lead generation and reducing manual support effort.
  • Led a cross-functional team of 7 engineers on the Independent Contractor (IC) Compliance system, owning technical direction end-to-end.
  • Independently designed and built a rubric evaluation system for the ICSE board, owning the project end-to-end.
  • Implemented RBAC, authentication flows, and secure API patterns across multi-tenant applications.
  • Provided cross-team production support, helping resolve critical incidents for other engineering teams during high-severity outages.

Project Remote

Tradeflo (Freelance)
Dec 2020 - Apr 2021
  • Built a real-time stock dashboard supporting live market data, watchlists, notifications, and chat using event-driven updates.
  • Integrated algorithm-driven insights into the platform to support real-time decisions within tight project timelines.
  • Designed scalable backend services for concurrent market events and low-latency real-time activity streams.
