Software Engineer | React • FastAPI • C++ | Real-time Systems (WebRTC/DIS), PostGIS, Whisper.cpp
|
Full-Stack Software Engineer at the intersection of high-performance systems and modern web architecture, bridging low-latency network services with scalable user interfaces. I build web applications with React, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL (PostGIS, TimescaleDB), develop C++ real-time services using WebRTC/DIS, and integrate efficient AI like Whisper.cpp for real-time transcription. I thrive on complex engineering challenges that demand both architectural foresight and low-level optimization. |

Development Lead | Jul 2025 - Present
Architected and led development of high-performance web applications using React and FastAPI with scalable, maintainable architecture. Designed complex PostgreSQL schemas using PostGIS for spatial processing and TimescaleDB for large-scale time-series data. Spearheaded a C++ real-time network service implementing WebRTC and DIS protocols for low-latency data exchange. Integrated AI features with Whisper.cpp for on-device, real-time voice-to-text transcription optimized for speed and minimal resource usage. Mentored developers, ran code reviews, and established best practices for high-concurrency systems and real-time networking. |
