Work Experience

Software Developer at LoyalMate
January 1, 2025 - Present
Engineered and maintained a production Flutter (Dart) mobile app integrated with Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Cloud Messaging), serving 5,000+ weekly active users across real-time transactional workflows. Delivered admin dashboard interfaces in React (TypeScript) and Tailwind CSS, consuming REST and Firebase APIs to provide real-time operational visibility for internal teams. Diagnosed and resolved 15+ production issues across mobile and backend layers - including auth flow failures, Firestore state inconsistencies, and async sync errors - using structured log tracing and request-level debugging. Cut API latency by ~20% by refactoring asynchronous data flows, eliminating redundant network calls, and improving client–backend interaction patterns. Built Python (Pandas) data validation pipelines and implemented Firestore stream-based state sync, reducing manual reconciliation effort by ~60% and improving cross-device consistency.
Systems Engineer (Application Support & Automation) at Ovolo Hotels
March 1, 2024 - January 31, 2025
Resolved 30+ monthly incidents across application, network, and endpoint layers, reducing repeat issues by ~30–35% through root-cause fixes. Troubleshot system-level issues including DNS/DHCP, TCP/IP, and access control, strengthening understanding of enterprise system architecture. Supported Windows-based environments and enterprise systems aligned with Microsoft stack (Active Directory, identity workflows), reinforcing familiarity with .NET-hosted environments. Automated reporting workflows, improving operational efficiency by ~15–20%. Maintained deployment and support documentation, improving handover and resolution time across teams.
Data & Machine Learning Engineer at Inversion Consultancy LLP
July 1, 2023 - February 29, 2024
Developed supervised ML models achieving ~92% classification accuracy using cross-validation, hyperparameter tuning, and reproducible evaluation workflows. Built Python pipelines processing 10,000+ records with structured validation and transformation layers; applied feature selection to reduce noise ~15% and improve model signal. Co-authored peer-reviewed research published in AIP Conference Proceedings on hybrid ML techniques for image forensics — combined CNN transfer learning with SVM, Random Forest, and XGBoost. Implemented an image forgery detection system with preprocessing using Python, OpenCV, and NumPy; addressed class imbalance with SMOTE and resampling techniques to improve model learning from limited forged-image samples.
