Work Experience
Software Engineer II
AlphaGrep Securities
- Reduced end-to-end communication latency by 98% (from 5 seconds to 100 milliseconds) and cut annual infrastructure cost by 25% by leading the architecture and rollout of a distributed platform that migrated file-based IPC to TCP and WebSockets across 5-10 production nodes, supporting 10,000+ events per second.
- Achieved near-zero message loss across 100+ concurrent services by designing and building a fault-tolerant, event-driven messaging framework using MQTT, EMQX, and Kafka, with owned message contracts, validation, deployment, and production reliability.
- Improved platform availability by leading development and production ownership of highly available REST and gRPC services, implementing authentication, caching, rate limiting, load balancing, health checks, and monitoring across Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS environments.
- Eliminated duplicate, missing, and out-of-order events across distributed services by implementing sequence validation, checksums, idempotent processing, automated recovery, structured logging, and Grafana alerting.
- Owned backend services end-to-end from requirements and system design through implementation, testing, CI/CD, deployment, observability, on-call support, and incident resolution, using GitHub Actions, GoCD, Linux, Bash, cron, and systemd.
- Raised engineering quality and delivery consistency by leading architecture and code reviews, and coordinated 3 engineers in implementation, debugging, and production ownership.
Projects
Custom Browser with Extension Support
- Designed a modular, cross-platform browser on Qt WebEngine with partial Chrome extension compatibility and userscript execution, enabling custom automation workflows on top of standard web rendering.
Scalable Backend Trading Broker Platform
- Created a modular backend platform with JWT authentication, Redis caching, rate limiting, PostgreSQL persistence, fail-safe recovery, Dockerized deployment, and real-time monitoring through Grafana and InfluxDB.
Autonomous Service Monitoring Agent
- Built an autonomous LLM-based monitoring agent that analyzes service logs in real time, detects anomalies, and integrates with internal APIs to trigger operational alerts, reducing manual on-call triage across self-hosted infrastructure.
