EXPERIENCE
Contractor
2022- Present
I developed a real-time chat application and an e-commerce platform, integrating AI and ML to enhance user experiences. This resulted in a significant 75% reduction in latency for the chat app, incorporating state-of-the-art data storage and real-time communication for seamless interactions. Moreover, the e-commerce platform was constructed with microservices, incorporating AI for personalized recommendations and dynamic pricing. By diversifying payment options with Stripe, PayPal, and Braintree, we achieved a remarkable 50% increase in sales and a notable 40% reduction in customer support inquiries.
Implemented state management by managing complex application states and improving performance. Deployed scalable backend services using Docker and managed containers across AWS services for efficient resource utilization. Utilized Swagger for proper API documentation.
Implemented webhooks to streamline communication between services, ensuring smooth integration and data synchronization. Implemented payment integration using Stripe, Braintree and PayPal, facilitating secure and reliable payment processing for the application. Implemented robust testing frameworks using React Testing Library, Jest to ensure the stability and reliability of the application. *.********.*****@*****.***

Projects
Title: Smashing
URL: www.smashing.xyz
This project pioneers microservices to provide users with top-tier, insightful content amidst the deluge of low-quality material online. Through blockchain technology, expert evaluations are harnessed to assess content quality, transcending traditional popularity metrics.
As the second developer onboarded, I architected the project's infrastructure, focusing on a Python service pivotal in generating essential content records. These records underpin content scoring for relevance and quality, facilitated by NumPy for swift computation.
The Interest Feed Algorithm dynamically adjusts user interest feeds every hour, utilizing personal embeddings and cosine similarity to evaluate content relevance. Optimization is achieved through the strategic use of GraphQL and Terraform.
By seamlessly integrating blockchain, microservices, and cutting- edge algorithms, this project revolutionizes content curation, fostering a more discerning and informed audience. Title: Freebusy
