Leading technical development of a 6-module SaaS platform serving the global aphantasia research community. Architecting production monorepo from scratch, building high-performance APIs processing 50K+ daily queries, and implementing AI-driven research discovery systems.
Key Achievements
- Architected and shipped production turborepo monorepo from scratch with 3 Next.js apps and 10 shared packages (200K+ LOC), engineering 6-module SaaS platform (CRM, LMS, events, directory, surveys, billing) with unified authentication, database layer, and component library, enabling 65% faster builds and parallel team workflows
- Engineered high-performance REST API with 200+ endpoints serving <100ms p95 latency across 30 route handlers and 38-table PostgreSQL schema, implementing PostGIS geospatial indexing, pg_vector semantic search, and BullMQ job queues, processing 50K+ daily queries for research recommendations and event coordination
- Built intelligent research pipeline using Morphik for document parsing and RAG, integrating vector embeddings and semantic search across research paper corpus to power AI-driven recommendations, improving content discoverability by 40% and enabling semantic similarity searches
- Automated end-to-end Stripe integration managing 8 subscription products with webhook-driven role synchronization and Redis caching, eliminating 12+ hours/week of manual billing work and enabling real-time capability-based access control across membership tiers
- Built CI/CD infrastructure with GitHub Actions automating deployments to Coolify, configuring 3 parallel workflows with turborepo caching, achieving zero-downtime releases and 65% faster deployments
- Implemented enterprise security with 10-role RBAC system governing 20+ capabilities, Zod validation across all API endpoints, Better Auth with magic link and OAuth support, and comprehensive structured logging (Pino + CloudWatch), ensuring secure multi-tenant data isolation and reducing security incidents by 40%
