• Built and led engineering on a consumer AI assistant, from an empty repo to a product serving millions, competing directly with ChatGPT and Claude.
• Designed the multi-provider LLM orchestration layer: a unified API across models, per-provider adapters, and cost-optimized routing that kept inference spend flat as usage grew.
• Built the retrieval layer on PostgreSQL with pgvector, so answers stayed grounded instead of plausible.
• Shipped real-time streaming chat on Next.js and Cloudflare edge compute, keeping time-to-first-token low under concurrent load.
• Owned the stack end-to-end in TypeScript, from Supabase Auth and multimodal inputs to the evaluation setup that kept output quality measurable as the product grew.

As a senior software engineer, I contributed to the development of an AI-powered SaaS platform that bridges physical infrastructure with intelligent digital twin environments. I engineered scalable front-end systems using React and Next.js, enabling AI-augmented user experiences and generative workflows. The platform embedded AI across multiple layers, enhancing real-time data visualization, decision-support interfaces, and automated interactions. My role involved delivering high-performance, production-grade web applications aligned with the company-wide AI-first mandate.

I collaborated with international teams under the United Nations Climate Change Secretariat on a high-impact project aimed at mitigating global warming. I spearheaded efforts within a scrum team to develop a comprehensive reporting platform for countries, facilitating the transparent tracking and management.

A digital platform for InsurTech integration. At Thinksurance, my journey as a software engineer was centered around architecting and refining cutting-edge web applications. Armed with a deep mastery of React and Node.js, I delved into an intricate ecosystem of over 100 projects, ranging from services and portals to diverse modules. My hands-on involvement in over five of these projects propelled the platform's digital transformation, ensuring it stood out in the bustling InsurTech landscape.

Collaborating within an ensemble of six dynamic teams, we were the driving force behind the platform's innovative strides. Our development DNA was deeply embedded with industry-leading practices: clean code, domain-driven design (DDD), microservices, and the avant-garde hexagonal architecture.

Beyond technical development, my role was characterized by meticulous project management, ensuring synchronization with business goals and timely deliveries. Though my chapter with Thinksurance has concluded, my fervor for harnessing tech's evolving paradigms remains undiminished, as I continually seek to enhance and diversify my skillset in the tech frontier.
