- –Sole frontend engineer for the entire product — shipped everything from core dispatch UI and RBAC to a no-code AI workflow builder, while independently owning CI/CD on GitHub Actions + Azure and cutting pipeline runtime by 74%.
- –Stepped up to own the Python FastAPI backend in addition to frontend responsibilities, migrating 15+ API modules from a Node.js/Express codebase into a clean layered architecture within 15 days.
- –Shipped an AI assistant with 8 domain-specific tools which evolved it into a no-code visual workflow builder backed by a graph-based canvas and a backend agent orchestration engine.
- –Participated directly in customer meetings to gather feedback and iterated on the product in response; extended this to async customer support through a dedicated support platform, owning the feedback loop from request to shipped feature end-to-end.
