Professional & Academic Projects
Each build reflects real stakeholders, deadlines, and the lessons captured on my résumé—from multi-tenant platforms in production to research-driven capstones that pushed my technical range.
Openspace Services · Nov 2022 – Jun 2023
Real Estate Management Platform
Built a multi-tenant, content-driven platform in Next.js and Strapi CMS so real-estate marketers could publish premium listings, track field visits, and automate contract reminders in minutes instead of hours.
- • Incremental static regeneration, edge caching, and responsive media pipelines improved page load times by 35%.
- • Custom Strapi workflows reduced manual listing updates from half a day to under ten minutes.
PPLWork · Mar 2022 – Sep 2022
Payment Processing Framework
Engineered a Spring Boot + PostgreSQL framework that orchestrated payment routing, ledgering, and compliance-ready audits for fintech clients handling thousands of transactions daily.
- • Modular microservices with retryable Kafka consumers ensured idempotent settlement flows.
- • Dockerized workloads plus Jenkins + GitHub Actions CI/CD reduced manual deployment effort by 40%.
Academic Capstone · Jun 2022
Magpie Geospatial Web-App
Delivered Magpie, a geospatial intelligence tool that lets researchers map urban wildlife hazards with Next.js, Go microservices, TailwindCSS, and PostGIS-backed heat maps.
- • Mixed SSR, SSG, and ISR rendering strategies balanced real-time alerts with offline-friendly field notebooks.
- • Usability tests with 30+ researchers informed iterated UI copy, increasing weekly retention by 12%.
