Zulu Airlines
Software Developer I · Dallas, TX
SaaS airline scheduling, where a single mis-detected duplicate ripples across millions of records. Correctness was the whole job.
- Engineered and optimized algorithms for duplicate-flight detection and through-flight identification — sharpening schedule accuracy.
- Built flight-time estimation plus an interactive route-map visualization for operational insight.
- Overhauled version control across 10+ critical data models — crew, rotations — holding consistency across millions of records.
AT&T
Software Engineer · Atlanta, GA
A live call-center product where every regression is a held customer. I upgraded the whole stack underneath it — without dropping a call.
- Upgraded 50+ components to React 18 + AntD 5 with zero downtime, A/B tested across live call-center traffic before rollout.
- Cut Total Blocking Time 51%, Input Lag 58%, and LCP 50% — aligning with Google Core Web Vitals.
- Introduced atomic design and Playwright testing; built the initial component system and drove cross-team adoption.
Unisala
Software Development Engineer · Remote
A knowledge-sharing platform whose feed took four seconds to load. I made it feel instant — and the whole experience got lighter with it.
- Drove a 100× reduction in API tail latency with in-memory LRU caching — Feed 4.1s → 40ms, Post 2.9s → 35ms (p95).
- 5× faster loads and 90+ SEO via SSR; migrated Ionic React → Astro, cutting build size 88% (6MB → 700KB).
- Refactored a coupled monolith into domain-aligned services — owning web and mobile end-to-end with React & React Native.
Blueflite
Software Development Engineer · Lafayette, LA
End-to-end drone operations, where authorization and observability are flight-safety concerns. I own the core infrastructure beneath them.
- Architected a graph-based RBAC system — transitive inheritance, org-scoped permissions, O(1) checks with zero DB hits — at 200K+ validations/sec.
- Built MetricsBus, an async event-driven telemetry pipeline that decoupled logging from request flow — tail latency −67% (758ms → 247ms), throughput +31%.
- Designed MVC services and REST APIs over PostgreSQL with background async processing for high-throughput workloads.
Letstrade
Software Development Engineer · Remote
A peer-to-peer barter & marketplace platform where every transaction is either escrow-backed, inventory-locked, or graph-verified. I own the integrity layer.
- Engineered atomic checkout & inventory locking via Neo4j reservation graph — eliminating oversell via TOCTOU race conditions. Impact: 0 oversell incidents (baseline ~3/week).
- Optimized Neo4j queries through targeted graph surgery (pruned millions of orphan nodes) + batched UNWIND write patterns. Result: feed queries <10ms, p99 DB latency <50ms.
- Integrated biometric one-tap checkout (Apple Pay, Google Pay) + Redis/BullMQ zombie-stock healing. Impact: 80% reduction in manual card-entry friction, <10-minute inventory recovery.
The reps behind the work
The systems above don't come from talent — they come from volume. I write up what I learn and grind the fundamentals, in public.

Currently architecting drone-operations infrastructure at Blueflite.
Let's build software that's maintainable, auditable, and trustworthy in production.
