The most amazing...
...thing I've developed is LFX Insights, a high-speed analytics platform serving thousands of users daily with sub-350ms queries over millions of records.
Work Experience
Senior Software Developer
Linux Foundation
- Refactored and rebuilt the LFX Insights analytics product by integrating ClickHouse as the back-end database, achieving sub-350ms query latency across millions of records.
- Developed an AI agent orchestration system using LangChain, AWS Bedrock, and Qdrant to automate data cleaning and correctness workflows, cutting manual effort by 90% and improving data quality at scale.
- Implemented end-to-end monitoring of 100+ metrics, alerting, and structured logging across LFX Insights and its Kubernetes cluster, enabling the team to detect critical issues before users were affected.
- Developed a modular people enrichment framework that integrated 10+ external data sources, increasing profile completeness to up to 95% across key member attributes.
Senior Software Developer
Crowd.dev
- Joined as an early engineer in a 3-person team and helped shape the product and codebase as the company scaled to 15 team members.
- Developed core back-end features and REST APIs using Node.js and TypeScript, supporting a fast-growing product that ultimately served hundreds of customers.
- Scaled integrations with dozens of third-party platforms, including GitHub, Slack, Discord, and Twitter, through a modular and maintainable architecture.
- Dockerized the full system to support Kubernetes migration, simplify onboarding, and enable easier self-hosted deployment for customers.
- Led the migration of user data from MongoDB to PostgreSQL with minimal downtime, improving data reliability and supporting future scalability.
- Optimized performance across MongoDB and PostgreSQL, improving query efficiency and response times for key product workflows.
- Separated analytics logic from the core back end, improving scalability, maintainability, and long-term system evolution.
- Contributed to the technical foundation of the product during a high-growth stage, helping drive its evolution through to acquisition by The Linux Foundation.
Senior Software Developer
V-Count
- Developed and maintained REST APIs using Node.js and Express, supporting reliable and scalable back-end services.
- Built a custom Slack app for analytics reporting, data visualization, automated competitor tracking, and project management, and deployed it on a Kubernetes cluster for reliable operation.
- Delivered full-stack web applications for B2B products and internal automation tools using AWS services, including S3, CloudFront, EC2, and EKS.
- Designed and implemented CI/CD pipelines with Git, Docker, and Jenkins, streamlining development workflows and improving deployment efficiency.
Software Developer
Vivense
- Developed full-stack web solutions for an eCommerce platform, enhancing both the customer-facing website and a custom-built ERP system.
- Implemented features across the stack that improved order processing, inventory management, and overall user experience.
- Integrated Elasticsearch and Redis to improve search performance, caching efficiency, and data management.
Experience
LFX Insights
https://insights.linuxfoundation.orgDepending on the project and available data, it surfaces signals such as contributor and organization dependency, stars and forks, commit and release activity, issue velocity, adoption and criticality, plus security and governance indicators. It also powers leaderboards, curated collections, and the LF Open Source Index.
I helped rebuild its analytics engine with ClickHouse, delivering sub-350ms queries over billions of records for a platform used by thousands daily.
WorldNews
https://alreadyworks.com/worldnewsA daily automated pipeline fetches news for each country from Google News RSS feeds, uses AI agents to summarize and translate articles into English, and falls back to web search when RSS coverage is unavailable. The platform surfaces each country's top 5 stories, rolls them up into AI-generated continent summaries, and highlights the top 5 global stories (1 per continent) for a fast, structured understanding of world events. It also tracks real-time live video streams with the most viewers from YouTube and Twitch, pinned to their country of origin on the map, giving users both news and a live-media pulse of the planet.
I developed this as a solo project from start to finish, utilizing a Next.js 16/React 19 front end with an animated SVG world map, PostgreSQL back end, PG-Boss job queue for daily continent-by-continent processing, and a worker process. The project encompassed data flows, aggregation logic, AI integration, infrastructure setup, and user experience enhancements.
