About

Full-stack engineer with 10+ years across fintech, e-commerce, legal tech, and social platforms — owning architecture, delivery, and production ops for systems handling thousands of transactions daily.

Over the past three years I grew from Senior to Lead at Innovecs — set technical direction on platform-wide observability and a schema-driven E2E framework adopted across teams, and now own architecture on greenfield AI builds.

Currently focused on AI/LLM integrations — RAG pipelines, NLP with spaCy, vector search, and Claude Code / Cursor agentic workflows.

Experience

Senior Full-Stack Developer · Innovecs · 2 projects
Sep 2025 – Present
Group Video Chat — Social
Feb 2026 – Present

Tech: Next.js, React, WebSockets, AWS, Claude Code, OpenAI API

  • Rolled out infrastructure from scratch (CI/CD, load balancer, EC2, RDS, S3) and built a daily quiz-generation pipeline (OpenAI API + AWS Lambda) producing top-10 topics × 3 questions.
  • Architected DB relationships for chats/members with matching-score logic (test answers + shared interests), shipped profile/chat-history/join-flow UX, and a group-vote moderation mechanism for banning abusive users.
RAG Document Workflow for Advocates — Legal Tech
Sep 2025 – Feb 2026

Tech: Next.js, React, Python, WebSockets, AWS, Llama 3.3, Haystack 2, Vector DB, Tailwind, Cursor

  • Owned frontend development end-to-end for an AI-powered legal research platform — chat, authentication, backend integration, plus the Documents page, Tags page, and conversation sidebar.
  • Built chat workflows with case-type and jurisdiction filtering, automated responses to legal queries, and discovery of similar cases — helping advocates work more efficiently.

Asset Tokenization Management — FinTech

Tech: Next.js, React, Nest.js, TanStack Query, WebSockets, Playwright, Jest, AWS, Claude, Figma MCP, OpenTelemetry, BullMQ

  • Owned three platform modules end-to-end — Order Manager, Audit Logs, Payout Requests — driving design, stakeholder alignment, and delivery as the sole engineer responsible for each.
  • Led the migration from polling to WebSockets + TanStack Query across transactions, balances, holdings, assets, intents, and investors — bringing real-time sync between admin actions and investor dashboards to a fintech surface where data freshness is non-negotiable.
  • Drove platform-wide observability adoption — OpenTelemetry tracing + structured logging across ledger adapters, microservices, and BullMQ job flows — making opaque production issues debuggable in a fintech context where customer-side logs were off-limits.
  • Set the platform's testing direction — schema-driven E2E framework adopted across teams, cutting per-test boilerplate ~30–40%, CI/CD execution to ~30 min, and unlocking horizontal scaling of E2E coverage.
  • Led the dev-loop overhaul — replaced per-package build scripts with an HMR-based local workflow, dropping cluster image build from ~3 min to <30 sec for the engineering team.
