Paraform LinkedIn Chrome Extension◦ Sped up and simplified the sourcing workflow of Paraform recruiters with automatic profile scraping, candidate saving/tracking, and AI-powered cold outreach message generation, receiving positive reviews from several power users rating its effectiveness and utility above other established competitors such as Apollo and Betterleap and earning 700+ daily users and 1,000+ weekly users◦ Identified the problem of redundant reach-outs to candidates causing churn and tarnishing brand reputation and implemented a novel solution by notifying and preventing recruiters from saving previously contacted LinkedIn profiles through the Chrome ExtensionApplicant Tracking System (ATS) Integrations - Ashby, Lever, and Greenhouse◦ Saved 6+ hours per week per client company by building official API integrations for synchronization of candidate applications and interview stages between Paraform and company ATS’s, featuring a complete self-service onboarding portal for companiesParaform E-mail Service◦ Increased candidate trust and reception towards cold e-mail outreach by providing Paraform recruiters with "@paraform.com" domain emails◦ E-mails are managed entirely in backend through Sendgrid at a fixed cost regardless of the number of users, circumventing the cost of a custom SMTP server and a registered email per Paraform recruiterSlack integration◦ Saved 20+ hours per week and decreased company response times by 50% with automated Slack notifications for candidate submissions, interview updates, and inactivity reminders sent to joint Slack channels, boosting both recruiter and candidate satisfactionStripe integration◦ Increased recruiter retention by 80% after setting up secure payment methods to instantly pay out rewards when candidates are interviewed and hired (measured as the number of continually active recruiters after receiving their first interview reward)

◦ AWS Cloud Migration: Estimated to save infrastructure costs by at least 10% and 10 dev hours per week on maintenance in addition to added reliability, redundancy, and velocity by independently planning and executing full migration of third-party vendor device integration service from fixed legacy infrastructure to scalable, containerized AWS Cloud solutions involving technology such as ECS Fargate, DynamoDB, VPC, Route53, SNS, SQS, and more.◦ Service Peak Readiness: Bulletproofed Amazon Key’s backend availability which suffered zero traffic bottlenecks through several delivery peak events such as Prime Day, Halloween, and BFCM/Christmas by identifying bottlenecks and accurately estimating peak traffic throughput for integration service supporting over 300 transactions/second. Successfully validated service infrastructure capabilities through extensive load testing for two years in a row. Calculated the optimal cost-effective hardware configuration from data gathered in load testing.◦ Event Pipeline: Decoupled microservices and allowed for quicker overall development and iteration by jointly designing, implementing, and pushing to production a new pub-sub event bus service based on AWS EventBridge.◦ Operational Excellence: Improved incident response times and prevented downtime during peak traffic events by designing and implementing several service reliability mechanisms including SQS buffers, API throttling, hardware scaling, and health metric dashboards.

Estimated to save up to 24 dev hours a week by designing and implementing a full-stack web application for third-party vendors to independently test integration APIs. Incorporates an authentication layer with access control for allowlisted vendors with Amazon credentials. Pushed application to production 3 months earlier than projected.

Developed real-time speech transcription/translation service between Korean and English using Google’s Speech API and Naver’s translation API to reduce redundant translation time in meetings conducted in multiple languages.Inspected new internal asset management website for HTML, JS, SQL, XXS, and authentication vulnerabilities.

Paved the way for long-term stabilization of delicate electrospray systems primarily used in mass spectrometry by independently developing a first-of-its-kind PID control system using computer vision to monitor the geometry of the Taylor cone with voltage control as a negative feedback mechanism.
