• Led a cross-functional team of 7 engineers in migrating a legacy monolithic storefront to a high-performance headless architecture (Next.js + GraphQL), improving developer velocity and enabling independent market deployments. • Drove performance optimization initiative that reduced First Contentful Paint (FCP) by 45% and Time to Interactive (TTI) by 30%, directly driving a 15% uplift in global SEO rankings. • Architected frontend infrastructure that sustained a 200% traffic surge during peak holiday sales with 99.99% uptime and zero critical incidents.

Senior Software Engineer

Asite

Comprehensive data platform for asset and construction project management.

Built computer-vision, semantic-search, and LLM tools for construction-project data, including search across up to 500,000 documents.

• Built an AI-powered Floor Plan Detection system using computer vision (PyTorch + OpenCV) that automated analysis of 300+ building plans, classifying 20+ room types at 92% accuracy and eliminating an average of 15 minutes of manual review per plan. • Led development of Project Haystack — an invitation-only semantic search application enabling vector-based search across up to 500,000 documents using LlamaIndex + Pinecone. Reduced query response times by 56% versus keyword-based search.

Senior Software Engineer

Imperial Enterprises

AI-driven e-commerce automation startup — product design to full website generation.

Developed generative-AI product-design and website-generation tools; reported higher engagement and reduced launch and setup time.

• Built a generative AI product design pipeline (OpenAI DALL-E + GPT-4) for automated image, copy, and color generation that increased user engagement by 70% and cut time-to-market for new product launches by 80%. • Developed an end-to-end AI website builder that dynamically generated color palettes, content, and imagery tailored to brand requirements — reducing manual website setup effort by 60%.

Senior Software Engineer

Rebartek

Robotics startup automating the production of custom steel reinforcement cages.

Managed a distributed engineering team and built robotics, real-time control, ERP, and remote-operation systems for automated steel-cage production.

• Managed a distributed team of 5+ software and robotics engineers across multiple timezones using Agile and Waterfall methodologies. • Engineered an automated production line integrating 5+ industrial robots with Siemens PLC via Python ROS, achieving a 60% increase in production throughput. • Built high-performance microservices (Node.js + Kafka) for real-time machine control with 20–25ms response times, reducing machine downtime by 45%.

Research Assistant

Embedded Systems Laboratory, Kocaeli University

UAV systems research — secure communication and ground control interfaces.

Researched UAV communications and control interfaces; implemented encrypted data transfer and a React control SPA.

• Implemented end-to-end encrypted data transmission (Python/C) between unmanned systems and control panels, achieving 30–70% image size reduction via lossless compression. • Designed a React SPA for UAV control with a three-layer send/optimize/receive pipeline, improving message transmission speed by 36%.
