How I build
Full-stack engineering across frontend, backend, cloud infrastructure, and AI/ML systems.
What I've shipped
Full-stack production systems with real infrastructure, measurable impact, and GitHub-hosted source code.
LegalDocs AI
Contract analysis platform built as ASU × Business School capstone. Serverless ingestion pipeline chains Textract OCR into Anthropic LLM via Bedrock. RAG comparison feature lets users ask plain-English questions across contracts.
SmartQueue
Distributed task queue with FastAPI REST API and React real-time dashboard. C++ worker processes for compute-heavy jobs. ECS auto-scaling triggered by CloudWatch queue-depth metrics.
FlowSight
End-to-end real-time traffic intelligence. Kafka decouples bursty camera traffic from the inference API. Grafana caught a checkpoint degrading on nighttime footage that aggregate mAP had hidden.
MediQuery AI
PHI-compliant medical chatbot with real-time token streaming via WebSocket. FastAPI backend on ECS Fargate connected to AWS Bedrock for LLM inference. PDF accessibility pipeline rebuilt serverless with native C++ parser, reducing costs from $3 to under a penny per page.
ChainSwap DEX
Decentralized exchange protocol implementing automated market maker (AMM) with constant product formula. Built TypeScript/React frontend for wallet connection and swap execution. Deployed and tested on Hardhat network with comprehensive unit tests covering edge cases including slippage, price impact, and reentrancy protection.
BookTrack Library
Full-stack library management system with React frontend and Node.js backend. Implemented advanced search and filtering improving retrieval efficiency by 35%. Optimized database schemas reducing query response time by 25%. Integrated JWT authentication for secure user management.
How I run it
Cloud infrastructure, CI/CD automation, observability, and cost optimization across production systems.
Infrastructure as Code
- ·CloudFormation across 3 AWS accounts (AI Cloud Innovation Center)
- ·ECS Fargate + API Gateway + Cognito + KMS per environment
- ·X-Ray trace surfaced exact Lambda fault mid-client demo
CI/CD Pipelines
- ·GitHub Actions → Docker build → ECR push → ECS rolling deploy
- ·Unit tests gated on every merge (SmartQueue)
- ·Multiple deploys/day during final sprint with zero regressions
Observability
- ·CloudWatch alerts caught 2 upstream schema changes before training corruption
- ·Grafana caught checkpoint degradation hidden by aggregate mAP
- ·W&B structured ablation reviews across 3D detection mAP + ADE/FDE
Cost & Performance
- ·PDF pipeline: $3/page → <$0.01 via Lambda + native C++ parser
- ·Query latency: ~2s → <500ms via PostgreSQL index + Redis cache layer
- ·ECS auto-scaling kept SmartQueue latency flat as concurrent load doubled
