EXPERIENCE

HOME SAVVY DEALS (CONTRACT)

Next.js | Tailwind | Supabase | PostgreSQL | Vercel

  • Implemented ranking logic balancing monetization goals, relevance, and recency
  • Moved selection logic into database RPC functions and views for cleaner architecture
  • Improved search flow by classifying user intent (direct URL vs discovery lookup)
  • Built responsive UI components and shipped through PR-based preview deployments
  • Contributed to a live product experience with real business constraints

SILVERSHEET

Software Engineer (2019–2021) | Rails | React | PostgreSQL | AWS

  • Built automation pipeline converting PDFs into structured mappings stored in AWS S3
  • Reduced internal processing time from days to hours
  • Shipped behind feature flags and resolved launch blockers across browsers/devices
  • Authored 20+ root cause analyses and monitored production issues through Airbrake
  • Worked in Agile engineering environment with sprint planning and releases

MGM RESORTS INTERNATIONAL

Workforce Management Specialist

  • Managed real-time workforce operations across large multi-department environments
  • Balanced coverage, demand, compliance, and fairness constraints daily
  • Developed strong systems-thinking around dependencies, escalations, and reliability
  • Operated in fast-moving environments where mistakes have real downstream impact

HIGH-FREQUENCY DATA WORK

Numerical Modeling | Time-Series Data | Performance Analysis

  • Processed 1000 Hz sensor datasets using numerical integration techniques
  • Converted noisy acceleration signals into usable velocity and position outputs
  • Applied smoothing / noise reduction methods for stable analysis
  • Assisted with data visualization and computational evaluation workflows

PROJECTS

HomeSavvyDeals (Contract)

Ranking logic + search workflow design for an affiliate discovery platform.

Tech: Next.js · TypeScript · Tailwind · Supabase (RPC + Views) · Vercel

  • Implemented weighted ranking logic balancing monetization constraints with recency scoring
  • Encapsulated selection and ranking logic via Supabase RPC; modeled DB views for clean abstractions
  • Improved search workflow by classifying intent (direct URL vs similarity lookup)
  • In progress: background search execution to reduce perceived latency

H.O.S.T. (Hotel Ops Service Ticketing)

Workflow-driven ticketing system built from real operational pain points.

Tech: Node/Express · React/Vue · PostgreSQL · Auth · Deployment

  • Designed a ticket workflow focused on reliability, ownership, and operational clarity
  • Implemented authentication and role-based behaviors for different users
  • Modeled relational data and optimized queries for common operational views
  • Shipped an end-to-end product experience (create → triage → resolve → report)
