Lead Full-Stack Engineer

Leading full-stack development of an e-commerce marketplace with a built-in social posting feed, owning architecture and delivery from the database to the UI.
Core engineer on an AI video-interview platform: real-time speech pipelines, LLM analysis and multi-region data on a Rust (Axum, Tokio) backend with a SvelteKit frontend.
Built streaming WebM demuxing and muxing in Rust: decoded Opus frames to PCM for real-time voice synthesis, reaching sub-second time-to-first-audio in production.
Integrated Google Chirp 3 streaming speech-to-text over gRPC (tonic/prost) and refactored the STT router to stream raw Opus/WebM bytes to Chirp and OpenAI handlers.
Built an evidence-based resume analysis pipeline (claim extraction → Gemini with Search grounding → evidence mapping) and moved scores and outcomes from the LLM into deterministic Rust.
Designed UUIDv8 region encoding for multi-region data: PostgreSQL triggers embed a region byte in new keys, decoded by a Rust RegionCache before any database call.
Built an S3-backed, multi-region AWS Polly speech cache so static interview prompts skip re-synthesis, removing live-interview lag.
Added Prometheus metrics and Altcha proof-of-work bot protection to the API, and fixed a Neo4j connection-pool leak.
Migrated ~30 SvelteKit pages to a type-safe client generated from the Rust OpenAPI spec, and shipped i18n in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Thai.
Wrote Inspector, a Rust CLI that validates multi-stage backend pipelines and generates multi-sheet Excel reports.
Shipped backend features across real products in Risevest’s engineering programme, and led the backend for an NDA-protected startup affiliated with Risevest.
Built a restaurant delivery platform in NestJS with custom RBAC, WebSocket and Kafka notifications, idempotent payment flows and Google Maps rider ETA.
Hardened APIs against MITM attacks, geo-spoofing, fake payment injection and delivery fraud using multi-factor validation on critical operations.
Designed the ERD and data models for a classified-ads platform; implemented JWT auth, sessions, CORS, CI/CD and Swagger docs.
Lead backend engineer for an NDA-protected startup affiliated with Risevest, owning backend design and implementation.
