Experience

1. Full Stack Software Engineer

   Midpage

   Jan 2023 — Present · New York, NY, US

   Built the web app from day one as the primary full-stack engineer. Owned every major feature across the full stack for over 3 years.• Designed a streaming system that evaluates AI across 100+ items concurrently over a single connection, with a shared cache so results are computed once and reused everywhere — no duplicate calls, no wasted work.• Built a resilient AI pipeline over a large-scale Postgres dataset with automatic failover across model providers, broken-response repair, and server-side pre-fetching that eliminated loading states entirely.• Shipped an AI agent that reasons across multiple steps — calling search, document review, and cross-referencing tools on its own. Also built a Chrome extension from scratch with live text highlighting and auth across third-party sites.• Unified two separate backends (Python + Next.js) into a single platform. Built Stripe billing with team subscriptions, and drove SEO at scale — server-rendered pages, dynamic sitemaps, and millions of documents indexed by Google.Stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Pinecone, Python, Vercel AI SDK, Stripe, Clerk, Playwright.
