  • Led Angular → React migration across a large-scale healthcare frontend — reduced build complexity across 6–7 microservices on Azure.
  • Built reusable component libraries with React + Storybook + Figma, cutting frontend effort ~35%.
  • Owned full-stack testing — Jest, RTL, Selenium, NUnit, xUnit — maintaining 80%+ code coverage in a regulated environment.
  • Built Node.js/.NET REST APIs powering 6–7 feature-based microservices with secure auth and access controls.
  • CI/CD with Azure DevOps + Docker reduced production incidents ~35% and improved release consistency.

Problem

RAG pipelines often lack production-grade observability or degrade under load.

Approach

Semantic search pipeline over ChromaDB with prompt-constrained LLM responses. 5 services containerized via Docker Compose with full metric instrumentation.

Impact

P95 latency under 1s. Micrometer metrics covering P50/P95/P99 latency, error rates, throughput, and health checks.

Problem

Degree planning systems often live as monoliths — hard to scale, harder to maintain.

Approach

7 Spring Boot microservices with independent PostgreSQL databases. Deployed to AWS ECS Fargate with k6 load testing at scale.

Impact

1,000 concurrent users, 100k+ requests at 245ms median and 95%+ success rate under load.

Problem

Library systems need strict transactional integrity for borrowing workflows and secure role-based access.

Approach

JWT authentication, RBAC, and secure REST APIs. Deployed behind an ALB with CI/CD via GitHub Actions.

Impact

~75ms average response under concurrent access, zero-downtime deployments fully automated.
