AI-native document intelligence platform (E-signature) — Sole engineer (full-stack) at SealFlow, Kodyx Labs Ltd
February 1, 2026 - Present
Built an AI-native document intelligence product for the UK/EU market with eIDAS SES-compliant e-signature capabilities as an ingestion surface for downstream intelligence over contract corpora. As the sole engineer, developed the Next.js/React frontend and a Hono backend on Cloudflare Workers, using multi-tenant D1 storage, Vectorize for retrieval, and R2 for blob storage. Researched legaltech retrieval/extraction architectures (hybrid BM25 + vector retrieval, RAG vs graph RAG) and extraction schema design, informed by known LLM failure modes on long-form legal and commercial documents.
Software Engineer at Google
October 1, 2024 - Present
Delivered production features for large-scale RPC services within two months, ramping quickly on Google’s Java ecosystem and internal tooling. Partnered with Product and business stakeholders to translate ambiguous requirements into solutions spanning Angular/TypeScript frontend, Java gRPC backend, and SQL data layers. Worked daily with AI coding agents (Gemini and internal tooling) for code generation, refactoring, and test scaffolding, while keeping human review load-bearing through clear design documentation. Also participated in internal AI hack weeks, prototyping generative-AI features and contributing to product-improvement initiatives.
Software Engineer at EasyController
February 1, 2024 - May 31, 2024
Architected and shipped ELT pipelines connecting Redshift, Clickhouse, and DuckDB to enable near real-time analytics for business stakeholders. Built a browser-based client (React, Redux, TypeScript) for triggering and monitoring pipelines, reducing manual intervention by about 80%.
Data Annotator (LLM evaluation and data annotation) at Data Annotation Tech
November 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024
Evaluated LLM responses across code generation, reasoning, and instruction-following tasks. Gained hands-on exposure to model evaluation methodology and the failure-mode surface of frontier models.
Full-Stack Engineer at Seedata
July 1, 2021 - September 30, 2023
Led system architecture and data modelling from inception, including threat-intelligence ingestion pipelines processing 100K+ security events daily. Built the operator-facing console (React, TypeScript) used by security analysts to manage detections and review telemetry from ingestion pipelines. Implemented distributed tracing with New Relic to reduce MTTR and improve reliability across microservices. Managed cloud infrastructure with Terraform and containerized deployments on AWS (ECS Fargate, EC2), cutting infra costs and accelerating release cycles.
Software Engineer at Spirable
December 1, 2017 - July 31, 2020
Redesigned and rebuilt a browser-based video editor from scratch in Vue.js, improving UX and reducing rendering time by 40%. Owned the backend rendering pipeline (Python/Django services with RabbitMQ for job orchestration and PostgreSQL for state), driving headless-browser plus Canvas/SVG rendering at scale on AWS. Led a team of two engineers in collaboration with Product to ship the end-to-end video rendering platform.
