Partnered with product leads and designers to turn rough feature ideas into maintainable, user-friendly code. Built a gamified onboarding module with branching-scenario engine and achievement badges, lifting new-user feature adoption from ~45% to ~85% within 30 days of launch.

Senior Software Engineer at iSoft Stone

Owned full-stack features across large-scale product surfaces, reducing user-visible latency in the main data-driven dashboard by roughly 40% after profiling and rewriting a slow query chain (PostgreSQL 12 → 14). Mentored 4 junior engineers through code reviews and design discussions; 2 promoted to mid-level and 1 took on primary on-call ownership within 12 months. Cleaned up CI pipeline by moving from legacy Jenkins to GitHub Actions, reducing average build time from ~18 minutes to ~9 minutes. Joined product discussions early; pushed back on 2 high-risk data-model changes, substituting incremental migration plans to avoid post-launch schema rewrites. Authored service-runbook for the main partner-onboarding API, reducing mean time to diagnose severity-3 incidents from ~45 minutes to under 20 minutes.
