Creative and native-powered mobile and desktop apps built with love for speed and optimal performance.

System Design

Designing reliable and distrbuted cost-saving solutions for the entire stack.

Work

Led design on frontend for a digital trading platform (Svelte/Typescript).
Collaborated on backend for the trading platform (Rust/Go).
Implemented low latency aggregation system ingesting data from various currency exchange APIs.
Streamlined deployment and integration processes promoting use of: GithubCI/Cloudflare/Docker/PM2/Vite.

Built proprietary instant ACH system that managed nearly $40M worth of wholesale transactions (Rust/Go).
Designed a highly optimized backend for on-premise database to CRM data pipelines increasing efficiency of multiple client sales funnels
Led design of several highly available and highly consistent custom API integrations.
Utilized reactive frameworks to lead design on scalable and bespoke Shopify themes (React/Vue/Liquid).

Responsible for the implementation of a robust set of system components in the quote and lead system.
Automated the email notification service for DevOps Engineers when REST APIs went down, decreasing response times by 80%.

Oversaw implementation of a set of frontend and backend services augmenting wholesale operations that drastically increased efficiency over existing platform integrations.
Led design of retail and wholesale checkout experiences with custom Stripe/Plaid integrations allowing faster ACH payments and significantly cheaper card processing.
Collaborated across all departments ensuring optimal performance of technical applications while improving collaboration and communication.

Projects

A low latency and high availability price aggregator that injests data from dozens of currency exchange platforms
Uses Google Puppeteer in headless mode to scrape data from currency websites avoiding API rate limits
BullMQ with a Redis backend to queue fetches and insertions of data into backend
A simple Node.js/express API handles queries for the latest aggregated prices for each currency, or a set of currencies
Kafka to push out price updates in realtime to any client listeners

Hashlife version of Conway's Game of Life implmented in Rust and Wasm
The goal was to implement an extremely performant version of Conway's classic but in Rust and using WASM and WebGL to power the rendering
Wasm-bindgen to Webgl for display and rendering
Js-sys to handle UI and DOM manipulation all in Rust
One day will expand to other alternate optimized game loops structures, maybe one day reaching the heights of Life in Life

A chrome manifest v2 extension that injects functionality directly into the shopify admin panel on pages like orders and customers
Shopify plugins dont have the ability to modify the built-in admin dashboard pages, this gets around that limitation
This also takes advantage of the existing Admin UI css styles so UX is presevered and more intuitive
A simple requestAnimationFrame listener allows us to know when its safe to inject onto the page, preventing FOUC and jankiness

This was a student project at UCSD
Designed as an augmented reality mobile game
The goal was to use phone accelerometer data to control a Player's camera in a virtual enviroment, while using gps and accelerometer data to control movement within the environment
