  • •Rebuilt MyVox platform backend with NestJS and migrated PostgreSQL data to MongoDB with zero data loss.
  • •Re-architected legacy backend services instead of applying temporary patches, improving system reliability and maintainability.
  • •Developed structured RESTful APIs and Swagger documentation to support smooth integration and onboarding for the mobile development team.
  • •Built a scalable backend architecture for Voxx using FastAPI, asynchronous PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, and WebSockets.
  • •Implemented real-time AI chat with thread and context management using WebSockets and Google Gemini.
  • •Built Cilt365's clinical skincare recommendation engine, moving dermatologist-authored questions, calibration, and safety rules into the database so doctors ship revisions without a deploy.
  • •Designed a multi-axis scoring and safety-cascade system that applies hard ingredient blocks (pregnancy, active medication, diagnosed conditions) before any product recommendation.
  • •Built a simulation harness that snapshots and diffs any answer set against doctor-recorded expectations, catching clinical rule regressions before release.
  • •Separated retroactive presentation output from a frozen-at-submission skin type result, so fixes reach existing users instantly without risking silent reclassification.
  • •Applied production-level security measures including rate limiting, security headers, and request controls.
  • •Optimized database queries and implemented caching strategies for Short Reels to improve backend performance and scalability.
  • •Resolved critical production issues with a focus on security, infrastructure stability, and cost optimization.
  • •Managed technical communication, delivery decisions, and production support across multiple client projects.
