Experience

Current Role

Building PicQR AI from MVP into a company that combines images with QR to create fully scannable, image‑styled QR codes. More to come.

September 2024 - August 2025

Owned and scaled the core distributed system, reducing error rates by >98% and increasing throughput by >100×.
Implemented row-level security in PostgreSQL and a Redis enforcement layer to guarantee strict per-customer access controls.
Wrote/refactored approximately 30–40% of BlueArc process steps across the platform, with major increases in automated test coverage.
Built a status-code–based custom retry framework mirroring HTTP semantics to harden external integrations and background jobs.
Developed most customer-specific process steps for a multi-billion-dollar pilot, converting it from pilot to paying customer.
Designed a global database connection pooler, authored deployment scripts, and provisioned new PROD/DEV environments.
Created a custom abstraction language plus supporting internal tools to accelerate delivery and reduce defects.
Interviewed, hired, and trained engineers; contributed to architecture decisions around graph theory, caching, and service design.

May 2024 - September 2024

Developed core frameworks for BlueArc’s LLM-powered automatic risk-management and compliance system
Key contributions in API integration, prompt engineering, and embedding systems

May 2023 - Aug 2023

Created a project focused on partial quantization of convolutional neural networks (CNNs)
Developed and applied genetic algorithm to quantize 90% of CNN nodes
Achieved dramatic model size reduction with only 0.2% accuracy loss (vs 10% with full quantization)
Reduced memory usage and sped up inference times for resource-constrained devices
