EXPERIENCE

STARTENGINE, Los Angeles, CA March 2023 – Current

Staff Software Engineer

I contributed to the development of a crowdfunding platform that enables startups to raise capital from investors. My responsibilities included designing and implementing microservices, mentoring and collaborating with cross-functional teams, leading design discussions, and providing production support. Key contributions include:

● Private Share Trading Platform: Developed a bulletin-board style trading platform that allows investors to trade private shares, including those not purchased on StartEngine. This feature addresses a common gap, as private offerings often lack exit options unless through an IPO.

● AI-Powered Issuer Onboarding: Led the development of an AI-assisted onboarding process that reduced the time to onboard issuers from 3-6 months to under 30 days. This enhancement is projected to increase issuer onboarding by five times, driving significant platform growth.

● AI-Driven Issuer Material Content Approval: Introduced an AI tool that streamlines the legal review of issuer communications. The tool provides an initial analysis of regulatory compliance issues, enabling faster approvals and reducing back-and-forth with the legal team. This innovation is expected to increase the company’s processing capacity by 10x, reducing the wait time for issuers from one week to less than a day.

I led the development of the Drayage Transportation Management System, with a focus on automating the shipping container lifecycle. My role involved close collaboration with both internal and external teams to gather requirements and create design specifications based on input from Product Management. Key achievements include:

● Port and Warehouse Appointment Automation: Integrated with port terminals, yards, and warehouses to streamline appointment scheduling and management. This automation improved 1

processing capacity, provided real-time updates in case of delays, and reduced fees associated with missed appointments by automating cancellations.

● Jobbing Automation: Designed and implemented a microservice that automates the publication of customer shipping orders across multiple stages (Port, Yard, Warehouse) to the marketplace. This system matches orders with drivers, automating the scheduling process and significantly reducing manual intervention, leading to increased throughput and efficiency.

● Backend Guild Leadership: Actively participated in the backend guild, helping shape development principles, best practices, and architectural standards across the organization..

● Mentorship: Provided guidance and support to junior engineers.

● User Authentication and Management Service: Developed a centralized identity service for authentication, authorization, and user management, ensuring secure and efficient access control across the platform.

● Front-End Development: Contributed to the development of front-end components for the Transportation Management System, simplifying load and job assignment management for operators and dispatchers.

This transition facilitated easier maintenance, testing, and management.

● Enhanced the sales channel by implementing Partner-specific interfaces with the ATLAS platform, expanding integration capabilities.

● Improved system maintainability and stability by introducing Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles, establishing coding and testing standards, and leading a comprehensive refactoring effort using DDD.
