About

I’m a Senior Software Engineer who helps teams build AI-powered products, search systems, and developer-facing platforms that scale.

My work spans React and Next.js frontends, NestJS services, Elasticsearch, cloud infrastructure, and CI/CD workflows.

Recently, I’ve focused on AI-assisted talent products, large-scale developer search, and customer/internal platforms used by millions of people.

Recent Work

AI Talent Search and Customer Portal

Built an AI-assisted search and talent discovery platform used to search, review, curate, and present candidates to prospective customers. The platform supports natural-language queries, advanced filters, search reranking, tenant-specific datasets, and customer-facing candidate profiles.

Supported 10+ customers and approximately 5,000 curated talent profiles, representing Turing's strongest candidate pool.
