Work Experience
AI Benchmark Expert
Toptal Client
- Authored software-engineering benchmark tasks for frontier AI coding agents, after passing vetting in compilers and language tooling and systems, back end, and networking.
- Designed tasks on real open-source codebases (C++, Rust, Go, Python), including assimp, sqlglot, bb8, ttlcache and redb.
- Built hidden-test graders in which the reference fix scored 1.0, and the unmodified codebase scored 0.0, and verified both before every submission.
- Calibrated difficulty against frontier models. Ran quality checks on agent traces (prompt alignment, false-negative and false-positive analysis) and resolved every flagged issue before submission.
- Diagnosed and fixed failures in automated CI review on submitted pull requests, such as rate-limit errors, stale invalidated runs, and judge inconsistencies, until intake came back clean.
- Reviewed peer-submitted benchmark tasks in the program, checking prompts, hidden-test graders, judge criteria, and agent runs, then gave approval or requested changes and feedback on their pull requests.
- Automated the task workflow covering setup, gold/base validation, multi-model evaluation, and trace review with Python tooling and Docker-based environments.
Full-stack Developer
Benaforma, Inc.
- Rebuilt the app's interface end to end, creating a reusable component library and connecting every screen to the back end.
- Built the truck check-in flow where guards scan and validate driver's licenses, license plates, VINs, USDOT numbers, bills of lading, and vehicle registrations at the gate.
- Implemented cross-validation of data across check-in steps, flagging inconsistent documents to the guard before a truck was cleared.
- Made barcode scanning reliable on iOS by testing three scanner implementations and rolling out the best one across all steps.
- Moved form validation rules to the server, so they could change without shipping a new app release.
- Added emergency call and panic buttons to the app, and a guard security code across the mobile app and the admin portal.
- Enabled over-the-air updates so fixes reached users without app store releases, and compressed photos before upload to speed up submissions.
- Integrated SendGrid email notifications for account and password events on the Node.js and MongoDB back end, and refined validation rules for license plates, USDOT numbers, and state driver's licenses.
Full-stack Developer
Nevoya Inc.
- Led the evolution of the map stack from Google Maps to Mapbox (react-map-gl), defining map component architecture, marker rendering, and route visualization for logistics operations.
- Built geofence visualization features across trailer, tracking, location detail, and shift replay maps, including early and consistent geofence visibility behavior and reusable map constants.
- Implemented advanced map UX for dispatch and tracking: marker clustering improvements, close-marker icon handling, map and table cross-highlighting, zoom guardrails, and multi-vehicle telemetry support.
- Delivered shift replay enhancements by embedding replay directly on map workflows, refining playback controls and state handling, and improving map interactions for selected legs and shifts.
- Integrated routing capabilities with HERE and flexpolyline and back-end routing APIs to improve route display and dispatch-related map behavior.
- Developed region-management capabilities (region APIs, reassignment endpoints, and summary schemas) and synchronized region tags with Samsara entities.
- Improved data quality and reliability in location pipelines with coordinate validation, invalid-location filtering, and fixes for map and navigation race conditions.
- Integrated external geospatial/address systems (Trimble Places and Samsara links and geofence flows), including back-end schema updates and front-end integration improvements.
- Shipped planning and dispatch UX improvements such as fleet filters, unscheduled-legs interactions, planned miles display, and Driver HOS visibility enhancements.

Project History
Cryptocurrency Platform
I was the front-end developer and had the opportunity to integrate this project from the start, make decisions for the app architecture, and work on it until the public release of the first version in the stores. I wrote native modules for React Native using Java and Swift to integrate the app and a KYC provider. I created the pipeline automation using Fastlane and Ruby scripts to build, execute the automated tests, and publish it on each platform store.
