Backend Software Engineer
Wildfire Systems
Building and owning production Go services supporting commission ingestion, merchant offers, and analytics pipelines in a GCP-backed environment.
Designed a metadata-driven system that conditionally boosts commission rates based on product attributes like SKU. Generalized enough that new targeting rules require no schema changes or ingestion rewrites.
Engineered a full-text search system using OpenSearch powering a customer-facing Offerwall across 500+ client applications. Reduced index build time from 4 days to 4 hours through batching, caching, and memory-efficient pipelines under a 1GB constraint.
Architected an attribution pipeline that uniquely identifies shopping trips across merchant redirects using deterministic identifiers. Offloaded persistence to an async GCP Pub/Sub pipeline to keep redirect latency low.
A full-stack shopping cart app where users can browse items, manage a cart, and checkout.
A restaurant matching app for two users who want to agree on a place to eat.
A web app where users can look up real-time weather and local time for cities worldwide.
A drag-and-drop kanban board with column and card management, built as part of the 2020 Mintbean JavaScript Olympics.
Go projects coming soon.
