Work Experience
Senior Full-stack Developer
Connor Florczyk
- Transformed a client-supplied AI-generated prototype into a production-ready wealth-management CRM, fixing a broken LLM pipeline, multi-file uploads, and mock-data leaks to ship a working advisor demo.
- Built an end-to-end LLM brief-generation pipeline (NestJS + OpenRouter + Langfuse) that turns PDF statements, notes, and emails into an 8-section structured brief validated with a Zod schema.
- Provisioned full AWS infrastructure as code with eight Terraform modules (VPC, RDS, ECS Fargate, ALB, S3, CloudFront, Cognito, CloudWatch) across two environments, deployed via GitHub Actions.
- Integrated Nylas (OAuth email/calendar sync), OpenRouter (LLM inference), and Langfuse (versioned prompts + tracing) behind clean NestJS services with graceful config-driven fallbacks.
- Delivered a React 19 + Vite + Tailwind 4 + Shadcn client with OIDC auth and an RTK Query data layer auto-generated from the OpenAPI spec, keeping back-end types and UI in lockstep across around 19,000 lines of code.
- Designed a multi-tenant NestJS 11 + Prisma 7 + PostgreSQL 18 API across 8 domain modules, enforcing Cognito-scoped tenant isolation on every query.

Experience
Briefly
https://www.brieflywealth.com/Insights
https://www.pcienergysolutions.com/about/pci-insights/I significantly improved performance by reducing page load times by approximately 10x through the introduction of RTK Query–based caching, concurrent API requests, optimized API payloads, and proper HTTP caching configuration on the NGINX layer. I implemented a client-owned visualization layer using extensible chart and table components, replacing Superset-dependent rendering. I also developed a flexible dashboard system with dynamic grid layouts and multi-tab support, allowing users to create complex analytical views. Finally, I implemented data migration scripts using Node.js and Prisma ORM to transfer existing Superset data into the application’s own database, completing the transition away from 3rd-party BI tooling.
CCOM Dashboard
I was solely responsible for building the front end from scratch, collaborating closely with the design studio through frequent iteration and joint planning sessions. Data was loaded via GraphQL and React Query, with comprehensive integration into Cube APIs using dynamic filters and dimensions.
To ensure exceptional performance, I implemented lazy loading, memoization, and virtualization strategies. I also created a custom API interceptor that intelligently delayed and batched requests, resolving HTTP parallelism issues under heavy data loads.
The dashboard was fully responsive and optimized for both desktop and mobile. It became an internal success story, with over 300 users in the first week and excellent feedback from stakeholders.

Provider Portal
https://www.genedx.com/In a 1.5-year migration project for GeneDx's Provider Portal, I led the transition from AngularJS to React with TypeScript. I designed new Figma-based layouts, created a robust component library, and reverse-engineered legacy code for a seamless migration. The complex ordering flow was reimagined, featuring real-time validation, a dynamic side menu, and data persistence, resulting in an intuitive and efficient user experience. The successful project cemented GeneDx's position as a leader in genetic and genomic testing services.
Atfarm

ALLEYE CMMS Software
https://www.apsinco.com/alleye-cmms-softwareIt is written in C#, React, and TypeScript and uses SQL server as the database.
I created everything from scratch, which included setting up CI/CD on Azure DevOps with a Git repo and automatic deployments to AWS ECS.
The codebase is covered with unit tests and end-to-end tests using Cypress.io.
Later on, I managed a small team of developers.
