Work Experience

Software Engineer at Monument
December 1, 2025 - Present
Worked on a SaaS platform for self-storage operators across 10+ U.S. states, handling $1M+ monthly payments. Built and improved features across billing, payments, and tenant operations using React, Node.js (TypeScript), MySQL, and AWS. Implemented surcharge support to recover 1–3% in credit-card processing fees previously absorbed by operators. Reduced document turnaround times from days to minutes by building a document-generation and e-signature framework. Eliminated 100% of manual tax reversals for tax-exempt organizations by designing an end-to-end tax-exemption system (invoice generation, adjustments, recurring services). Improved billing query performance by 70% using SQL optimization, targeted indexing, and join reduction based on business/domain knowledge. Led a responsiveness initiative for full property-management workflows on mobile, improving responsiveness and reducing INP on core pages.
Software Engineer at Jalasoft
January 1, 2024 - December 1, 2025
Contracted for a mid-sized U.S. company providing global workforce management solutions (employee engagement, finance, recruitment). Contributed to modernization of a legacy .NET (Razor/C#) system by extending a Node.js Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) REST API and a React (Material UI, Redux) SPA. Reduced HTTP requests and improved performance by enabling reusable UI components, responsive design, and accessibility compliance. Reduced API response time by 80% by integrating the BFF with an email microservice via Azure Service Bus, converting synchronous email calls into asynchronous processing. Improved UI performance by increasing FPS (11 to 35) and reducing INP by 150+ ms using list virtualization. Cut build cycle time from 2 minutes to near-instant updates by optimizing workflow in a .NET MVC + React project, avoiding rebuilding React on every change.

Built a Student Progress Dashboard using an internal GraphQL API to show task completion, grades, and overall learning progress. Designed and implemented a microservice integrating with Microsoft Graph API for Outlook calendar event management.
