Projects
I designed and built this RAG platform to solve query latency and context drift in large-scale literary corpus analysis. By implementing ChromaDB semantic chunking and caching, I load-tested the engine against 10k pages of academic text, reducing query retrieval latency from 1.2s to 180ms while maintaining 94% context relevance. (Python, FastAPI, ChromaDB, OpenAI, Next.js)
To address the lack of open, privacy-respecting ATS validation tools, I built and launched this parser. I tested its ATS matching algorithm against 500+ standard resumes, achieving a 98% PDF parsing accuracy. The app now helps users optimize their resumes in under 5 seconds with zero server-side data retention. (Next.js, React, TailwindCSS, Open Source)
Direct Role: Lead Architect & Developer. I designed a dual system: a public Next.js website and a cross-platform Electron/React Native app using a local SQLite database that auto-syncs when online, digitizing records for 5,000+ students and enabling staff to manage registrations completely offline. (Electron.js, React Native, SQLite, Next.js)
I architected this high-performance URL shortener to handle traffic surges without database bottlenecks. I load-tested the serverless infrastructure using Artillery, achieving sub-50ms redirection times for 1,000 concurrent requests/sec with a 100% success rate. (Next.js, Serverless, API)
