    Spearheaded the complete development lifecycle for 'Project Elevate,' a new-generation IFE platform, leading a team of 4 to implement a high-performance static architecture (Next.js, Rust) and cut initial page load times by 40-50%. Architected and led the backend development of a unified back-office platform to replace a fragmented and inefficient legacy system, empowering non-technical users with self-service capabilities that eliminated developer dependency for routine tasks. Tech Stack: NodeJS, Rust, NextJS, MongoDB, AWS, Java, Springboot.

    Engineered a centralized, serverless polling system using AWS Lambda, resulting in 1-minute order latency and a significant performance boost for the on-device mPOS application. Engineered a data lifecycle management system for IBM Cloudant, introducing an automated PostgreSQL archiving process that reduced production data volume by over 50%. Drove a major architectural shift from monolithic to multi-tenant services on Heroku, consolidating ~25 legacy apps into 4, which dramatically reduced operational complexity and infrastructure footprint. Improved release quality and stability by establishing a production-mirrored staging environment, enabling formal validation to prevent unvetted changes from reaching production.
