Senior Software Engineer · L3

Carbonteq

Leading architecture on data-automation products and an internal effort to make agentic coding a first-class way we ship.

✓Architected BATflo v2 via DDD & hexagonal architecture — a self-service data import pipeline (agent swarm) that removed dev-reliant ETL bottlenecks, cutting turnaround from days to minutes for non-technical users.
✓Built a VRP-based scheduling engine on Google Route Optimization API that automates complex field-technician routing and constraint management.
✓Lead the Harness engineering initiative: helped the team build customized agent harnesses on Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, wired into Linear & GitHub with background agents and skill files.

BATflo v2

Certified Backflow Testing — Carbonteq · L3

★ Days → minutes turnaround

A self-service data import platform and VRP scheduling engine for field-technician operations.

✓Agent swarm technique eliminated dev-reliant ETL — non-technical users import their own data.
✓VRP scheduling engine on Google Route Optimization API automates routing & constraint management.

TutorCat AI

Jetrr — Gaper · ASE

★ 40K+ downloads

A generative AI homework-help chatbot that walks students through subjects step by step.

✓Built LLM tools so the model could pull in relevant YouTube videos as suggestions.
✓Owned the full lifecycle: mobile, backend, cloud infra, CI/CD (Cloud Build + Cloud Deploy), IaC (Pulumi + Kubernetes).

Envision AI

Jetrr (Gaper × Game District) — Gaper · ASE

★ 60K+ downloads

An AI photo generator competing with Vyro's Imagine Art — users upload images, a GPU loads a SD container, fine-tunes with DreamBooth, and returns personalised art.

✓Stable diffusion on Vertex AI took ~30 min for a first run. A Google architect pointed us to Kubernetes.
✓I jumped in with no prior K8s experience and within 7–14 days moved workloads from Vertex AI Jobs to K8s Jobs — 30 min → 5 min, making the product viable.
✓Later moved to PEFT/LoRA on RunPod → 1–2 min generation, matching competitor speeds.

Associate Software Engineer

Gaper.io / Mezino Technologies

Two years owning the lifecycle of AI consumer apps under Jetrr (Gaper × Game District JV) — from mobile to backend to cloud infra, plus running an intern program.

✓Envision AI — AI photo generator competing with Vyro's Imagine Art; shipped 60K+ downloads. Owned the backend: moved stable-diffusion fine-tuning off GCP Vertex AI onto GKE, cutting cold-start from ~10 min to ~1 min, and later to 1–2 min with PEFT/LoRA on RunPod.
✓TutorCat AI — generative AI homework-help chatbot, 40K+ downloads. Built LLM tools that pulled relevant YouTube videos into step-by-step answers. CI/CD via Cloud Build + Cloud Deploy, infra automated with Pulumi + Kubernetes.
✓Led a 2024 summer internship program for 10 undergrads — designed technical projects and trained interns in GCP, containerization and MLOps.

Software Engineer Intern

Gaper.io

A two-month internship that turned into a two-year role. Prototyped with the freshly-released GPT-4 API at high velocity.

✓Recruiter AI — an AI matchmaking platform for recruiters and engineers, built to outperform conventional ATS systems.
✓Built a Langchain-based RAG system on GPT-4 for matching precision; structured JSON was the hard part.
✓Stood up infra on AWS: EC2, RDS PostgreSQL, API Gateway, Route 53, S3, ElasticSearch.

Generative NFTs

Hackathon — won, led to my internship

★ Won the hackathon

An app that took a text prompt, generated an image via OpenAI DALL·E 2, and minted it as an NFT on-chain.

✓Built with the then-new DALL·E 2 API + on-chain minting.
✓Winning this hackathon is what opened the door to my first professional role at Gaper.
