• Designed & engineered a ChatGPT-like platform, developing scalable document-processing pipelines using Python and Kubernetes, and a real-time update system via websockets.• Ran market research and prototyped an expansion into AI agents that overcame many of the limitations of vanilla GPT-4. Also achieved 2-4x industry average in conversion rates through landing page optimizations.

• Delivered an analytics dashboard MVP in 8 weeks, overcoming many difficult technical challenges while scaling our scraping pipelines. The resulting MVP contributed to securing enterprise contracts with major restaurant brands and a $14mm funding round from Sequoia.• Expanded our analytics dashboard into a cross-platform tablet app for in-restaurant order management. Solved many complex engineering challenges such as using directed cyclic graphs to model menus, creating a custom thermal printer driver, and scaling real-time data-processing queues to fetch orders every 30 seconds. This tablet app broadened our market reach into the small business segment, significantly boosting revenue.

• Co-created a “Spotify for news” platform, re-architecting our Kubernetes-based web-crawler for simplicity and scalabilty, and piping all that data in customized feeds for users in a Next.js frontend.• Pivoted to develop a cloud-based operating system, creating a simple-but-powerful architecture modeling all external entities as file descriptors. This new architecture made integrations extremely quick to build, and facilitated our next phase of revenue growth.

• Redesigned the company’s frontend architecture overnight, leading to a React codebase we used for over two years.• Transitioned the company to a Kubernetes-based microservices architecture, which enabled our AI pivot and increased our scalability.• Created and deployed NLP machine-learning models and human-in-the-loop systems, providing new revenue streams and proving our new AI capabilities to our customers.

• Delivered diverse projects for clients, including a computer vision system for a popular wine app, a frontend for a data-driven fashion magazine, a backend module for a government agency, and many other projects.
