As a freelance software engineer, I’ve worked on a wide range of backend and API-focused projects, leveraging modern technologies to build scalable, high-performance systems. Some key achievements include:Developed and maintained event-driven backends using Go, Python, and Node.js for high-traffic Discord applications, supporting up to 70,000 daily users.Built a custom router allowing clients to create unique identities for commands, achieving zero memory allocations and only a 20% increase in routing time compared to static routers.Collaborated with senior engineers to design database fail-safes, enabling read-only mode when the system approached capacity, improving overall system reliability.Optimized system performance, reducing latency by 40% for long-running services by using pprof for performance analysis and improving concurrency handling.Reduced database request frequency by 50% through the refactoring of database handlers, enhancing system efficiency.Enhanced containerization and deployment using Docker and AWS, streamlining CI/CD pipelines with GitLabCI, reducing environment inconsistencies and enabling smooth project integration.Developed scalable RESTful APIs for diverse functionalities such as user rewards and cross-bot integrations, deployed on GCP to enhance reliability and performance.Integrated third-party services into APIs, streamlining operations and reducing manual data entry by 25% through secure data exchanges.Utilized Redis for caching, improving data retrieval speeds and integrated Prometheus for real-time monitoring, reducing downtime and improving API health.Built tools for monitoring system stability and increasing user engagement, leading to a 170% increase in daily users and a 20% reduction in downtime.

In addition to teaching computer science and math, I’ve focused on building backend solutions and automating classroom tools to enhance the learning experience. My technical work has supported both classroom efficiency and student engagement:Designed and deployed scalable APIs using Golang and Python on GCP (Compute Engine, Spanner) to automate data workflows, improving classroom operations.Built APIs using PostgreSQL and MongoDB with error handling, thorough documentation, and automated testing, achieving 80% code coverage with Golang’s testing and pytest.Automated data analysis processes using Pandas and NumPy to streamline student test grading, improving feedback efficiency by 25%.Integrated CI/CD pipelines with GitLabCI to automate deployment of classroom tools, ensuring consistent functionality across environments.Developed classroom APIs that supported over 100 student projects, providing real-time feedback and data visualization, resulting in a 20% improvement in student project outcomes.Monitored and optimized API performance using GCP monitoring and alerting tools, reducing downtime and improving issue resolution speed.Created iOS applications using SwiftUI to demonstrate UI/UX concepts to students, enhancing the classroom learning experience.
