Project history
- Part of the DevOps team improving software architecture scalability and reliability by 30% through rewriting legacy and implementing CI/CD pipelines that reduced deployment time.
- Leveraged AI data detection using OpenAI & E-Hawk to implement spam control, lowering bots access to the platform by 40%, and improving user's experience.
- Led OpenAI integration that provided better content suggestions for users - by leveraging existing content and creating a vector search system that is continuously updated with content to support a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline.
- Facilitated technical documentation and procedures development, ensuring consistent workflow while implementing knowledge-sharing practices that supported team skills development.
- Led cross-functional software development teams and electrical and mechanical engineers, aligning project goals with technical roadmaps, and managing continuous workflow disruptions.
- Used Agile methodologies to improve team communication and breakdown milestones.
- Utilised Unreal Engine to design and develop an interactive 3D visualisation of data center facilities for desktop, mobile app, and VR platforms - allowing engineers to conduct simulations, safety training practices and test for potential threats with real-time effects.
- Built custom API and processed different data sources into a unified data structure, providing better data visualisation, faster search, and supporting a 200% increase in data volume.
- Build an engineering team of 7 members, guiding their skill development and supporting individual growth, resulting in 80% team retention during a high-growth period.
- Implemented DevSecOps procedures, resulting in a 45% reduction in security incidents.
- Responsible for key technology decisions in product design and development with Azure, building a scalable software architecture and managing limited resources by layering different technologies.
- Mentored team in scaling the WordPress platform, supporting a 1500% increase in video traffic.
- Effectively communicate complex technical roadmaps to C-level executives and investors, increasing alignment between technology and business goals and ensuring mutual, strategic partnerships.
Project: P2P Video Stream
- Defined an IT strategy to connect users without central servers through P2P connections using WebRTC, and achieve better stability by using next.js and react. Guided team in learning and leveraging Python with the PyTorch library to build custom video recommendation systems, which increased user engagement by 32% within the first two months.
