Experience

  1. Co-founder

    Penny

    Dec 2024 — Present · Tempe, AZ, US

    As the backend and architecture lead, I engineered the core data pipeline and infrastructure that powers Penny’s personalized joy-tracking experience. My focus? Making sure the magic under the hood always feels effortless for users.Here’s what I brought to the table: Architected the entire data flow — from user input to user experience — in sync with my partner’s stunning frontend vision Integrated Supabase as our real-time backend — auth, database, storage, and edge functions — all tightly wired Designed and implemented custom API endpoints for seamless data handling across sessions. Built a scalable, modular control flow that made it easy to plug in new features. Spearheaded state management using React context + reducers, ensuring rock-solid sync between backend data and UI state.(…and yes, I might’ve debugged a few thousand lines of async logic in one night 🧠) At Penny, my personal mission was to bring structure, scale, and soul to the backend — while staying invisible to the user.Let’s just say… if the frontend was the vibe, I was the engine.
