Summary
Full stack product engineer with 6+ years shipping production applications, used to owning a feature from the React interface down through the API layer and the data model. Front end is React and TypeScript; behind it I build production Python services with FastAPI and Node.js/Express services, design the REST contracts they expose, and model the data in graph, document and relational stores. At ArangoDB I led the replacement of a failing Server-Sent Events pipeline with a resilient job-based polling architecture, built a graph visualization platform that stays responsive at 1,000+ nodes, and cut unnecessary API calls by 60% with a new data-fetching architecture.
Experience
Senior Fullstack Developer · ArangoDB
Apr 2023 – Present · Remote
- Led the migration of GraphRAG multifile imports from a Server-Sent Events stream to a resilient job-based polling system: specced it, agreed the REST contract with the backend team, and built the reusable type-safe React Query layer on top
- Engineered a graph visualization platform on Cytoscape.js and D3 force layouts with custom Zustand stores, staying responsive at 1,000+ nodes
- Designed the platform-wide data-fetching architecture (smart caching, query invalidation, polling), cutting unnecessary API calls by 60%
- Builds production Python services with FastAPI, Pydantic and Uvicorn alongside Node.js/Express services; graph and document modeling with AQL in ArangoDB
- Owns Trivy container and dependency scanning in CI and CVE triage under SOC 2; owns coding standards, architectural guides, API specs and ADRs
- Ships through Docker, GitHub Actions and Kubernetes, with Jest, React Testing Library and Playwright coverage; works spec-driven with Claude Code
