Work experience

Back-end Software Developer - Reddit
2025 - present

I’m currently working at Reddit through outsourcing by Turing. I’ve been migrating hot paths from Python to Go, halving latency and boosting efficiency from 11 → 160 requests/core (~15×) for features used by 100M+ daily users. I ship safely with Tap Compare, shadow traffic, and rolling releases monitored in Grafana, and I write design docs to share the how/why.


Back-end Software Developer - Sword Health
2024 - 2025

I worked as a contractor for Sword Health via Bee Engineering. I built and maintained microservices and REST/gRPC APIs on Google Cloud (Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub) powering the clinician web platform and the patient mobile app (100K+ downloads). I used TDD to reach high test coverage and integrated automated code analysis, linting, and reviews into CI/CD to reduce regressions and recurring bugs.


Back-end Software Developer - Moss Earth
2023 - 2024

I’ve worked for over an year as a software developer at Moss Earth. I have concentrated on enhancing and developing systems and microservices to support our mission of leveraging technology for environmental conservation.

My contributions have been crucial in improving the efficiency of APIs for processing millions of daily requests, automating processes with external APIs from Pipefy, HubSpot, Slack, and Google Docs, significantly reducing weekly work hours in other departments, and promoting a more efficient systems and work environment.


Full-stack Software Developer - Flow lab
2020 - 2023

Flow Lab is a digital agency that develops custom software for companies in various industries. I was responsible for developing and maintaining systems for clients in the healthcare, agriculture, and civil construction sectors.

Some examples of my work include:

🏗️ BOMDIA

I was the Lead Back-End Developer at BomDia. Our solution transcends traditional, paper-based methods by providing a modern, digital alternative. The platform includes user and project management, financial control, a mobile app for check-ins and check-outs, report generation and much more.



🩺 MEDFY

MEDFY is a system that allows attendants in the UMC hospital locate available doctors through specialties, clinics, and compatible health insurance options.



🌿 EVEREST

Using our expertise in development and multiple meetings with agronomists, we’ve created a system for the company Prime agro that generates reports that shows the nutritional balance of each nutrient and gives actionable steps for optimizing plant productivity.
