Summary

Migration platform (lead). Owned a React/Django/FastAPI platform with ETL and background jobs that automates CDN migrations. Deterministic logic first, Claude agents tiered by cost for ambiguous cases, automated parity checks and human approval. Engineers went from translating rules line by line to reviewing flagged cases. Auto-converts ~80% of rules and cut Mark & Graham's migration from 2-3 months to 2 weeks. Also exposed as an MCP server. ML inference at scale (Crusoe). Debugged HTTP 499s on Triton-served GPU inference behind Cloudflare at 500M+ requests/day. Audited the Triton config, traced the cause to Cloudflare's FL2 proxy and caching topology and cut 499s to 0.13%. Client edge engineering. Led Akamai-to-Cloudflare migrations for IKEA (cache hit 72% to 83%, origin requests down 68%, LCP 3.1s to 1.9s), Lufthansa Miles & More, the State of Iowa (451 zones) and Dun & Bradstreet (664 zones via Terraform, 18,482-rule Rust/TypeScript redirect engine). Data and scale. Built Universal Music Group's edge log pipeline at ~1.5B events/day. Traced DIRECTV live-TV stalls to 7.4M client aborts on HLS manifests and shipped a hedged-fetch Worker. Load-tested GPC Workers to 1M requests/second.

What I did

  • Exposed migration platform as an MCP server.
  • Client edge engineering. Led Akamai-to-Cloudflare migrations for IKEA, Lufthansa Miles & More, the State of Iowa (451 zones) and Dun & Bradstreet (664 zones via Terraform, 18,482-rule Rust/TypeScript redirect engine).

Results

  • Shipped edge infrastructure for IKEA and DIRECTV that handles billions of requests a day.
  • Built a migration platform that moved engineers from manual rule translation to reviewing flagged cases.
  • Cut 499s to 0.13% for Triton-served GPU inference.
  • Improved IKEA cache hit from 72% to 83%, reduced origin requests by 68%, and improved LCP from 3.1s to 1.9s.

Summary

Multilingual LLM pipeline. Translates all user-generated content into 5 languages with admin review and a translation cache that cut per-request cost to near zero after first render. Rekognition image moderation on every upload with fail-closed mode and an audit log. AI assistant (Sobi). Designed and shipped the in-app assistant on Claude and OpenAI with Pinecone retrieval over each non-profit's approved documents, per-user memory with insight extraction, a GDPR-safe per-user rollout gate and evaluation tooling that tests answer quality across prompt and model changes. Admin and frontend platform (lead). Planned and led a 23k-line React 19/TypeScript rebuild of the legacy admin app, defining architecture and specs and directing AI coding agents for implementation. Closed 90+ parity gaps, backed by 3,500+ unit and E2E tests. Migrated both Next.js apps from AWS Amplify to Cloudflare R2, cutting frontend hosting cost to zero. Backend and infrastructure. Express/MongoDB API with RBAC and Stripe, AWS and Cloudflare in Pulumi, GitHub Actions CI/CD. Cut the AWS bill ~70%.

What I did

  • Own the backend, admin app, infrastructure, and CI/CD.

Results

  • Shipped Sobi, an in-app AI assistant, behind a per-user gate to ensure safe rollout under GDPR.
  • Implemented LLM translation of all user content into 5 languages.
  • Built image moderation for every upload and integrated Stripe payments.
  • Established evals on every prompt or model change before deployment.
  • Cut per-request translation cost to near zero after first render.
  • Cut frontend hosting cost to zero by migrating to Cloudflare R2.
  • Cut the AWS bill ~70%.

Summary

Computer vision (Athleads, Liftbuddy). Fine-tuned video-analysis models and took them from prototype to production, ranking penalty-kick and dribbling clips and assessing exercise form. Served via FastAPI behind NestJS microservices on AWS, with LangChain LLM coaching feedback and an RPE-driven workout recommender. Shift AI Coach. LLM journaling and counselling backend with LangChain and pgvector, React analytics dashboard and Python Slack bot. Spec to production. Owned architecture, APIs, CI/CD and AWS infrastructure (EC2, RDS, Lambda, CloudFront) for client products, including an event-sourced league platform with Socket.IO live scoring and a ~130-endpoint recommender with ~94k products ingested.

What I did

  • Served models via FastAPI behind NestJS microservices on AWS, with LangChain LLM coaching feedback and an RPE-driven workout recommender.
  • Built an event-sourced league platform with Socket.IO live scoring.
  • Developed a ~130-endpoint recommender with ~94k products ingested.
  • Deployed an ML microservice for RPE recommendation on an in-house RTX 3060.
  • Fine-tuned YOLOv8-Pose and YOLO11-Pose on internal footage.
  • Fed keypoint coordinates into a LightGBM model to score movement trajectory and timing.
  • Used YOLO object detection to track players and balls across frames.
  • Owned both Liftbuddy and Athleads products end to end, including infrastructure, backend, deploys, and ML services.

Results

  • Replaced a per-exercise matrix with a regression model for RPE and weight prediction that landed within ±1 of user-reported RPE 85-90% of the time.
  • Developed a computer vision form analysis model that achieved 92% accuracy under optimal conditions and approximately 80% in real gym environments.
  • Implemented on-device key frame extraction and compression to minimize latency and bandwidth for video analysis.
  • Integrated a CV model with an LLM to convert form scores into actionable coaching feedback for users.
  • Achieved an end-to-end p99 latency of approximately 9 seconds at 50 concurrent users for the form analysis and LLM feedback pipeline.
