Where the work happened
Three years across a zero-trust network platform, an email platform built solo, and the tooling under AI products.
Reverse chronological, YYYY-MM.

Author and maintainer
Colloid Swarm- Portable multi-agent development scaffold, adopted as the company-wide engineering harness for roughly 50 engineers
- Seven delegating personas (explorer, implementer, reviewer, QA verifier, researcher, mechanic, learning reporter) route work across three cost and capability tiers, holding planning and architecture at the top tier
- Hostile review runs as an independent gate rather than self-assessment by the implementer
stack: Python, Bash, Claude Code, Codex, MCP

Software Engineer
Softaims
- Architected and delivered an enterprise email infrastructure platform, solo, that scaled to 200K+ emails/day across 1,000+ domains: a multi-channel campaign engine orchestrating KumoMTA and Amazon SES edge nodes with A/B testing, threaded follow-ups, and real-time delivery state tracking
- Automated the DNS lifecycle (SPF/DMARC/DKIM), deployed edge agent daemons across multi-region VPS nodes, and built deliverability automation: graduated warmup scheduling with Redis-locked cycles, MXToolbox blacklist monitoring, and bi-directional Salesforce sync
- Built the voice onboarding module of Meridian, a service-business profitability platform: an ElevenLabs Conversational AI agent runs a spoken discovery interview while the backend keeps conversation state in a slot-walk, so the whole interview script replays offline without a live call
stack: Python, FastAPI, TypeScript, NextJS, PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, KumoMTA, AWS, Salesforce, ElevenLabs, LangChain, OpenAI, Playwright, Pandas, NumPy

Associate Software Engineer
Ebryx Pvt Ltd- Scaled a C++ gateway from 200 to 5,000 concurrent TLS WebSocket clients by replacing blocking polling with non-blocking polling, pooling connections, batching Arena requests, and initializing Arena memory up front
- Stress-tested the gateway under extreme load and fixed the failure paths normal traffic never exposed, including a log-rotation race that removed a file between check and read and crashed a worker thread
- Engineered an auto-update migration system for the gateway that carried it across significantly different software versions during the move to a multi-tenancy architecture
stack: C++, Python, MySQL, Kafka, Cython, Linux, Docker

Software Engineer
Active Takeoff
- Wrote custom optical character recognition software to parse tabular image data across hundreds of documents and loaded it into MySQL for enriched modeling
- Indexed customer data in Elasticsearch for sub-millisecond search, optimized the data representation for retrieval with image querying, and integrated a dynamic search function into the existing frontend
stack: Python, MySQL, ElasticSearch
