Software Engineer, Contractor

Nov 2023-Current

• Evaluating, training, and writing test cases for generative AI models across various technologies, protocols, and programming languages.

Software Engineer, Odeko

Feb 2022-Dec 2023

• Defined, designed, implemented, and rolled out a pricing management microservice for e-commerce catalog items using React and Ruby on Rails in combination with PostgreSQL, GraphQL, and Kafka. Other teams adopted the service which reduced their workload by 25%.
• Improved maintainability and functionality of the custom pricing engine by reverse engineering existing legacy monolith code, isolating it into different domains, cutting off legacy 3rd party tools, and migrating to standalone services.
• Built and rolled out an internal accounting monitoring microservice using Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL that reduced failed payments by $829k.
• Implemented a promotion engine using Voucherify API.

Software Engineer, Academig

Mar 2017-Aug 2021

• Prototyped, conducted user interviews, and implemented a research-labs discovery platform using Angular, Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB. Running over 50 campaigns for achieving production/solution fit and product/market fit.
• Led project management and sprint planning on a team of 5 part-time contractors, overseeing the platform's growth to 12K users.
• Built and rolled out an internal management tool used by all the contractors. The tools helped optimize the customer acquisition process and reduced the acquisition cost by more than 70%.
• Participated in the 2019 cohort of the Start Accelerator program in Switzerland.
