Summary

Designed and developed scalable REST APIs with FastAPI, supporting modular routing, JWT-secured endpoints, and production deployment on Azure App Service. Implemented Clerk-based authentication with JWT validation, user provisioning, and startup-scoped role-based access control (Owner, Admin) enforced via reusable permission dependencies and billing-aware account policies. Architected and optimized Microsoft SQL Server data models and query performance, encapsulating complex fundraising and CRM logic in T-SQL stored procedures. Built Gmail OAuth 2.0 integration for secure connect/disconnect flows, inbox read/send APIs, token refresh, and sent-email audit logging tied to investor pipeline workflows. Integrated Recombee for similar-deal recommendations, investor-startup matching, batch catalog sync, engagement tracking, and weekly recommendation persistence and email delivery. Leveraged Azure OpenAI and Azure Blob Storage to parse fundraising documents (PDF, PPTX, DOCX), extract structured deal fields, and generate investor-specific pitch-deck recommendations from guidelines and notes. Delivered investor relationship management features including Kanban fundraising pipelines, bulk import, team invitations with SMTP notifications, and multi-tenant startup context switching. Integrated Stripe Checkout, Customer Portal, and signed webhooks to manage subscriptions, promotions, and billing state synchronized with the application database. Developed a multi-tenant Data Room backend (FastAPI, SQL Server, Azure Blob) with secure document sharing, NDA workflows, password-protected guest access, and room configuration/audit APIs. Built and managed CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions (OIDC) for automated builds and deployments to Azure Web App across dev and production environments.
