Work Experience
Full-stack Engineer
Quiet Mountain Consulting
- Owned full product feature lifecycle from architecture and design through production deployment and iteration for multiple AI-driven SaaS platforms hosted on AWS.
- Built AlgoMaker, an AI-powered trading strategy generator automating strategy creation, backtesting, and iterative error-fixing using multi-provider LLM integration (Claude, OpenAI, Moonshot AI) with BYOK architecture and OHLCV data pipelines.
- Delivered the back end for a brand performance SaaS platform integrating 5+ LLM APIs with automated evaluation pipelines, reducing manual brand auditing effort by 90% and directly driving measurable customer ROI.
- Built HyperData, a Hyperliquid on-chain analytics platform with automated data workflows, crawling, and indexing, scoring 100,000+ trading records served via scalable REST APIs with a real-time leaderboard and filtering.
- Developed AllExchangesData, a real-time cross-exchange crypto analytics platform featuring OHLCV charts, arbitrage detection, funding rate dashboards, and a scalable REST API back end.
- Built PyFixer, an AI-powered Python debugging tool with multi-provider LLM support (Kimi K2.5, Claude, OpenAI), BYOK architecture, automated code fixing, and iterative re-debugging loops for persistent errors.
Full-stack Developer
Kora Metrics
- Contributed to MVP development of an AI-powered accounting SaaS platform, shipping core features on schedule in close collaboration with stakeholders and product leads.
- Built and owned the entire back end in Python/Flask with Supabase, designing RESTful APIs that powered the platform's core financial data workflows from scratch.
- Integrated AI agents into the back end to automate accounting operations and data processing, reducing manual effort across key financial workflows.
- Architected database schema and authentication flows in Supabase, ensuring secure multi-tenant data handling appropriate for a financial SaaS product.
- Iterated rapidly on product features based on direct stakeholder feedback, maintaining a short feedback loop between customer requirements and production deployments.
Machine Learning Engineer
Fintech Client
- Shipped production ML serving infrastructure via Flask REST APIs for real-time financial price forecasting, handling live market data with model versioning and performance monitoring.
- Built an autonomous multi-model trading system with a dry-run evaluation mechanism that dynamically switched to the best-performing model, improving forecasting accuracy by 18% with zero downtime.
- Benchmarked and deployed ANN, ARIMA, Prophet, and ensemble models end-to-end, covering the full lifecycle from feature engineering and training through containerized AWS deployment.
- Implemented an A/B testing framework and live performance dashboards for deployed ML models, enabling data-driven model selection and continuous performance tracking in production.
- Containerized and deployed ML workloads on AWS using Docker, establishing reproducible deployment pipelines that reduced environment inconsistencies and deployment time.
- Engineered feature engineering pipelines on financial time-series data, extracting predictive signals that directly contributed to the 18% accuracy improvement in live trading systems.
Research Associate
National Center for Cyber Security
- Built scalable ML back-end APIs for image forgery detection, achieving 95% accuracy and supporting active national cybersecurity investigation workflows.
- Developed harmful object detection systems deployed in real-world security applications, delivering production-ready computer vision models under strict accuracy requirements.
- Led a team of 4 developers on a full-stack mobile forensics application, managing sprint planning, architecture decisions, and code reviews from initiation through delivery.
- Automated model training pipelines, reducing iteration cycles by 40% and enabling faster experimentation and shorter time-to-deployment across multiple computer vision projects.
- Designed and maintained RESTful back-end APIs serving ML model inference at scale, ensuring reliability and performance for high-stakes national security use cases.
- Drove architectural decisions across the mobile forensics platform, establishing coding standards and review processes that improved team velocity and code quality.
Research Assistant
National Center for Cyber Security
- Designed and implemented NLP-based text classification models and image analysis systems supporting real-world security threat detection applications.
- Developed and validated ensemble deep learning architectures across multiple computer vision tasks, iterating rapidly on model performance using structured experimentation.
- Collaborated with senior researchers to translate academic computer vision techniques into deployable security tools, bridging the gap between research prototyping and production systems.
Teaching Assistant
Air University
- Built six end-to-end AI/ML projects independently, including NLP sentiment analysis, a collaborative filtering recommendation engine, and a clinical heart attack prediction model.
- Engineered a real-time face mask detection system and a car number plate detection and re-identification pipeline using OpenCV and deep learning.
- Developed an automated microscope system for tuberculosis detection from sputum smear images using computer vision and deep learning. This was later published as my master's thesis research.
- Evaluated and graded student assignments and projects across core CS and AI courses, providing structured code reviews and technical feedback that accelerated learning outcomes.
