March 1, 2025 - Present
Owned end-to-end design and delivery of a cloud pricing aggregation platform exposing versioned RESTful APIs across 5+ providers; decomposed a monolithic scraper into independently deployable Python/Django microservices, reducing time-to-integrate new providers from multi-day cycles to under 4 hours and enabling parallel development across two streams. Engineered horizontally scalable backend services on AWS ECS with Docker and Gunicorn multi-worker configurations, maintaining 99.9% production uptime with IAM least-privilege across ECS tasks and S3 resources. Built an observability stack with structured JSON logging and a React dashboard surfacing p95 latency and error rates, reducing MTTR by 60%+ through same-day incident detection.
