Took technical ownership of a shipped React Native cognitive-wellness app, leading a three-engineer team in moving AI and data workflows from the mobile client to an independently deployed backend while delivering updated iOS and Android builds.
Architected and deployed a 25+ endpoint Node.js/Express API on Vercel with MongoDB Atlas, centralizing authentication, AI quiz content generation, personalized learning state, and quiz performance telemetry.
Built an automated demand-aware GPT-4 content pipeline that identifies question-bank gaps across 43 subdomains and applies embedding-based semantic deduplication before persistence.
Migrated AI operations server-side after exposed client-side credentials; added session authentication, Joi validation, tiered rate limits, and 57 automated tests across 18 Jest/Supertest suites.
Developed a React-based analytics dashboard for a UK client, visualizing consumer trends across 200K+ users in 5 regions, with lazy loading, Chart.js visualizations, and filtering by spending tiers and regional segments.
Implemented backend APIs and database queries using Django REST and PostgreSQL, optimizing slow client-reported queries through indexing and query tuning, and supporting staging deployments alongside senior engineers.
Built exploratory customer segmentation and sales forecasting prototypes using k-means clustering and a lightweight MLP, visualizing results to inform ad targeting, recommendations, and new product sales planning.
