Featured Projects

ktfo.gg — Fight Picks & Predictions
  • Built, deployed, and operate ktfo.gg, a live real-time MMA prediction platform with a Go (Chi) backend, React/TypeScript frontend, PostgreSQL, Redis, and WebSocket-driven scoring, results, and event state
  • Architected a multi-tenant, event-driven backend using a transactional outbox, Redis Streams, consumer groups, Redis Pub/Sub, and multi-room WebSocket routing for reliable low-latency domain-event fan-out
  • Reduced scoring pipeline latency from 14s → 2–3s under 10k simulated concurrent users by replacing synchronous workflows with parallel batch processing and stream-based workers
  • Designed a multi-dimensional scoring engine across winner, method, round, and time predictions, with scorecard adjudication, crowd-percentage multipliers, and global/per-event Redis sorted-set leaderboards
  • Built server-authoritative live fight operations around a six-state finite state machine, PostgreSQL CHECK constraints, optimistic concurrency control, clock correction tools, and a sequenced play-by-play feed
  • Shipped a shareable head-to-head analytics experience with composable user/event search, cumulative and capture-rate charts, per-event totals, a sortable receipts table, and complete empty/error states
WorkoutLab — iOS Workout Analytics & Generative Reports · Early Prototype
  • Built a native SwiftUI/HealthKit app for analyzing real workout and heart-rate time-series data, with deterministic metrics, interactive Swift Charts, recovery analysis, and data-quality checks
  • Designed a tool-calling analysis pipeline where LLMs can request deterministic workout analytics and compose multi-section reports while numerical calculations remain fully application-controlled
  • Built a constrained generative-UI system using typed analytical artifacts, a runtime evidence registry, dynamic JSON schemas, and native visual primitives, allowing models to choose supporting visuals without generating arbitrary UI or invalid metric bindings
A* and Friends — Pathfinding Visualizer
  • Built an interactive React/TypeScript visualizer for A*, Dijkstra, BFS, and Greedy BFS with editable weighted grids, heuristic controls, diagonal movement, and terrain-cost presets
  • Designed snapshot and granular timeline playback with state-synchronized frontier, visited, path, and cost overlays to expose each algorithm's decision process step by step
  • Tested core search logic, heap behavior, path reconstruction, and f-cost calculations with Vitest and GitHub Actions, including fallback-goal handling for unreachable destinations

Experience

AlphaMap — Backend Engineer (Remote)
  • Developed an advanced data integration solution to unify multiple POI datasets, using string similarity algorithms along with geographic distance to improve data accuracy and consistency
  • Spearheaded a tenant finder recommendation engine utilizing the integrated POI dataset, significantly enhancing matching accuracy and optimizing tenant placement
  • Refined a large-scale corporate ownership dataset by conducting analytics, identifying and correcting bad entries, implementing NER tagging, and consolidating duplicate data
  • Engineered a robust ETL pipeline to extract data from a GraphQL API, implementing transformations and normalization into seven tables across datasets ranging from 140M to 1B entries
  • Implemented a comprehensive caching mechanism using Redis, enhancing data access speed and overall system performance across the entire application
  • Built a Redis-backed rate limiter with per-package keys and real-time usage tracking to optimize resource allocation
  • Contributed to the development of an enterprise API, focusing on scalability, security, and integration capabilities
