Experience
Lead Product Engineer (Founding Engineer) at Drodat, Inc. (2022-01 – Present)
Led architecture and hands-on engineering across a multi-tenant property operations platform, React Native field application, and internal support and administration platform.
- Built and scaled a multi-tenant SaaS platform with Next.js App Router, React, and TypeScript, spanning CRM, properties, projects, workflows, permissions, contracts, scheduling, communications, reporting, billing, document storage, and mobile field operations.
- Reduced the largest customer dashboard load from approximately 14 seconds to 150 milliseconds with trigger-maintained aggregates, denormalized read models, sharded Firestore access, constant-size fast paths, cached authorization checks, and slimmer API responses.
- Engineered a crash-resilient React Native media pipeline with persistent queues, resumable Google Cloud Storage uploads, concurrency control, exponential retry, background execution, Live Activities, and real-time Firestore progress for large field photo batches.
- Developed native Swift, ARKit, LiDAR, and RoomPlan capture infrastructure for camera poses, depth, point clouds, meshes, planes, and room geometry, feeding a Cloud Run reconstruction pipeline that produces floor plans, SVG/PDF exports, estimating artifacts, and interactive 3D walkthroughs, with 54 documented pipeline tests and 0.3-1.7% synthetic area error.
- Built production AI systems for contextual assistance, document parsing, natural-language reporting, policy and form autofill, embeddings, RAG support automation, and confidence-gated human handoff using OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, and Voyage.
- Designed Firestore-to-BigQuery analytics across approximately 17 exported collections and 19 typed SQL views, powering parameterized queries, custom report builders, operational analytics, branded PDF/CSV exports, and AI-assisted reporting.
