  • Engineered a real-time performance feedback loop that synced Meta Ads Insights into Google Sheets and triggered automated campaign actions (pause/scale/kill) based on CTR, CPA, and ROAS thresholds for live optimization.
  • Integrated Amazon Product Advertising API into the affiliate pipeline to dynamically enrich products with pricing, availability, and rating signals before they were passed into ad generation workflows.
  • Developed an AI-driven creative scoring system powered by GPT-4 that evaluated ad performance patterns and historical engagement data to rank creatives for scaling, replacement, or suppression decisions.
  • Automated Instagram ad generation workflows using Claude to produce high-variation marketing copy (hooks, captions, CTAs, hashtags), improving creative diversity across affiliate campaigns.
  • Implemented a Gemini-based enrichment layer to validate and cross-check product metadata (titles, pricing consistency, availability signals) before ads were pushed into Meta campaign pipelines.
  • Implemented a batch ad generation pipeline that converted single spreadsheet entries into multi-variant ad sets (copy, creative, targeting permutations), significantly increasing campaign testing velocity.
  • Orchestrated Google Sheets as a lightweight operational data layer, continuously synced with ad platforms to serve as the central control plane for campaign monitoring and decision-making.
  • Built n8n-powered ingestion workflows that automated affiliate product feed normalization and routing into downstream ad generation systems, reducing manual campaign setup overhead.

UPbook

https://www.upbook.com/
UPbook is a veterinary practice growth platform designed to streamline appointment scheduling, automate communication, and provide business insights for veterinary clinics.

As a software developer, I was responsible for the platform's architecture, security implementation, and performance optimization. I designed and developed a highly efficient authentication and authorization system while ensuring HIPAA compliance for sensitive data handling. Additionally, I created an intuitive, real-time analytics dashboard and integrated various third-party services to automate clinic operations. To further enhance accessibility, I also developed a cross-platform mobile app, making the platform more accessible to a larger number of veterinary professionals and clinic staff.

College Advisor

College Advisor is a next-generation admissions platform that simplifies the college application process through personalized guidance, expert-led webinars, and automated CRM workflows. The platform enhances student-advisor interactions, event management, and real-time support, streamlining the admissions journey.

As a full-stack developer, I played a key role in the development of the platform, contributing to front-end and back-end systems. I worked on integrating the webinar system, Salesforce, and help-center modules, and also designed user-friendly interfaces with React and Next.js. I also built a cross-platform mobile app to ensure accessibility for a broader audience, making the platform available to students and advisors on the go.

Restorative Record—ILR Cornell

https://restorativerecord.ilr.cornell.edu/
Restorative Record is redefining fair hiring by helping justice-involved individuals overcome employment barriers. Built for Cornell’s ILR School, it shifts the focus from background checks to skills, rehabilitation, and credentials, giving candidates a real shot at opportunities. As the Lead Software Engineer, I built this scalable, serverless AWS platform from the ground up. Using Next.js and React for the front end and AWS Lambda with PostgreSQL for the back end, I designed an intuitive candidate dashboard, automated HR integrations, and a secure authentication system, ensuring seamless hiring connections and real impact.

Othership

https://venues.othership.com
Othership transforms hybrid and remote work by providing seamless access to a coworking space. Managing venues manually in WordPress led to inefficiencies and vendor reliance on admins. As a software engineer, I built a vendor portal, allowing workspace providers to independently manage listings, bookings, and availability. I engineered a real-time sync between WordPress and MongoDB, ensuring smooth data migration and updates. Automated invoicing via AWS Lambda and SQS eliminated manual effort. With multitenancy support, vendors gained full control, reducing operational overhead and making venue management scalable, efficient, and user-friendly.

DAZN Moments

A web-based application for trading NFTs. As a front-end engineer, I implemented the application's UI and liaised with back-end developers to connect the application's UI to the back end with GraphQL.
