Summary
Backend-focused Full Stack Engineer with production experience delivering REST APIs, relational database schemas, and authentication and authorization across .NET 8/ASP.NET Core, Ruby on Rails, Node.js/Express, and PHP. Hands-on with PostgreSQL (EF Core, ActiveRecord, Sequelize), Redis, JWT and session-based auth, background job processing (Hangfire, Sidekiq), third-party API integration, and LLM provider integrations (OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio). Owns modules end to end: schema and API design, implementation, automated tests, migrations, deployment, and production debugging. Co-author of two peer-reviewed conference publications applying machine learning to real-world datasets.
Experience
- Built the backend of a pathology laboratory management system as an ASP.NET Core 8 REST API on Clean Architecture with EF Core and PostgreSQL.
- Designed a strictly enforced report workflow with per-lab auto-verification, sex- and age-dependent reference ranges, and soft deletion; enforced with FluentValidation and a Unit of Work.
- Implemented JWT auth with BCrypt hashing, refresh tokens, and role-based authorization, plus an EF Core interceptor for automatic audit history; covered the domain with 144 xUnit tests.
- Owned modules end to end in one engineering, product, and design loop with short cycles and release-aware review.
- Designed and implemented RESTful APIs for user authentication (OmniAuth/Devise), group management, and messaging.
- Engineered a full-stack Ruby on Rails application from scratch within a two-week sprint, applying MVC architecture.
- Integrated ActiveRecord with PostgreSQL; configured Sidekiq and Redis for background jobs and Action Mailer for notifications, with RSpec unit and integration tests.
- Architected and deployed a PHP/MariaDB web portal managing 3,000+ candidate profiles, achieving a 40.7% Google Search CTR and average ranking position 3.6 through SEO and frontend performance work.
Projects
- Backend services for an AI-native project management platform (.NET 8/ASP.NET Core, EF Core + PostgreSQL, Redis, MediatR/CQRS, Hangfire) with a React 19 frontend and GitLab integration.
- JWT authentication and an AI provider layer (OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio); hardened GitLab sync with branch-wise pagination, SHA dedupe, and cache invalidation.
- Ruby on Rails study group platform with group messaging and a three-tier role model (member/moderator/admin).
- Relational schema in PostgreSQL, RESTful group and user endpoints, deployed on AWS EC2 with cron-scheduled per-user activity digests via Whenever, ActiveJob, and Action Mailer.
