Backend • APIs • Production Systems • Automation

Software Engineer

I take ownership of backend features from design through production, then operate and improve them over time. I build APIs and internal systems used by real users, making tradeoffs around reliability, performance, and maintainability. Comfortable in ambiguity and accountable for outcomes.

Experience

Software Engineer (Web and Backend Systems) — University of Florida

Sep 2025 – Present • Gainesville, FL
  • Owned the design, development, and maintenance of 20+ production web pages for Transportation and Parking Services, supporting thousands of users while meeting WCAG accessibility and UF brand compliance.
  • Improved frontend performance and usability via responsive layouts and custom CSS, increasing mobile usability scores by 25% across high-traffic pages.
  • Redesigned critical workflows (permits, maps, citations, reservations) with clearer navigation and interactive components, reducing support inquiries by 15%.
  • Built and operated internal backend tooling by automating T2Flex financial workflows using Python, Selenium, and Pandas, cutting hours of manual processing and reducing operational risk.
  • Handled production constraints and post-deploy issues (data inconsistencies, edge cases) by debugging live systems, validating fixes with stakeholders, and deploying corrective updates without disrupting active users.

Projects

Food Ordering System

Microservices Backend
  • Designed a microservices-based backend with clear service boundaries (Auth, Restaurants, Orders, Payments, Notifications) to enable loose coupling and independent deployment.
  • Implemented JWT auth + role-based authorization, balancing stateless security with cross-service trust to keep APIs simple and scalable.
  • Used async processing (Celery + Redis) for notifications and order updates to improve responsiveness, accepting eventual consistency to avoid blocking user requests.
  • Designed PostgreSQL schemas and background task workflows with retries/failure handling, improving API responsiveness by 30% while maintaining data integrity across services.

Incident Tracking and Operations Tool

Backend CRUD + Rules
  • Built a backend incident management system with 10 REST endpoints using FastAPI and PostgreSQL, modeling severity rules and real operational workflows.
  • Designed normalized schemas and APIs with validation, filtering, and pagination for safe updates and efficient querying.
  • Fixed data integrity issues caused by invalid status transitions by adding explicit lifecycle validation and test coverage to prevent regressions.
