Senior Software Engineer at PrimeiTek, Northridge, CA, Feb 2020 – Jan 2026
- Led a team of 6 engineers to build customer‑facing eCommerce, subscription, fintech, and HIPAA‑aligned platforms, applying SPA architecture, React.js, and Code Quality practices; delivered the solutions from discovery through production on schedule, improving release reliability.
- Architected and delivered end-to-end full stack solutions using Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis, scaling platforms to 5M+ daily operations with high availability and sub-second API response targets.
- Led system design for microservices and platform foundations: API gateway patterns, caching strategies, connection pooling, and horizontal scaling across AWS/Azure, improving API latency by 32% through profiling, query optimization, and cache tuning.
- Owned eCommerce and subscription initiatives from catalog to checkout and post‑purchase, integrating Stripe, PayPal, and ACH flows with tokenization, webhooks, retries, and idempotency while meeting PCI and Payment Authorization Standards; the implementation enabled consistent, secure transactions for thousands of daily users.
- Delivered HIPAA‑aligned healthcare features by designing secure access patterns, audit‑friendly workflows, and privacy‑focused architecture using IAM principles; the work satisfied compliance requirements and passed internal security reviews.
- Drove growth outcomes by improving acquisition funnel and onboarding journeys through analytics-driven iteration, performance monitoring, and experimentation, increasing onboarding conversion by 18% across key touchpoints.
- Built and maintained design systems and reusable component libraries (React/TypeScript), translating Figma into accessible, production-ready UI with measurable improvements to frontend performance and maintainability.
- Designed distributed backend workflows including scheduling, queuing, rate limiting, and serverless task processing to support high‑volume JSON pipelines and workflow orchestration with robust retry, timeout, and error‑handling, which increased processing throughput and lowered failure rates.
- Implemented Identity & Access Management (JWT, OAuth, SSO, RBAC) and scalable permissions modeling, delivering team management and role‑based authorization for multi‑tenant environments, which strengthened security compliance and reduced onboarding time for new users.
- Improved reliability and operational readiness by implementing structured logging, monitoring, tracing, and automated alerting, reducing production incidents by 27% and shortening MTTR via better runbooks and dashboards.
- Established coding standards and clean code practices; ran structured code reviews, pair programming, and mentorship plans, elevating test quality with test automation, refactoring strategies, and consistent CI/CD enforcement.
- Partnered cross-functionally with Product, Design, and customer-facing teams to scope requirements, prototype high-risk components, and deliver a major platform release to completion with clear milestones and predictable delivery.
