About

A technology leader who has driven architecture design, stack decisions, and code quality management at early-stage startups, delivering rapid product launches on a stable technical foundation.

Grounded in end-to-end full-cycle experience, I champion an agile development culture focused on frequent MVP releases and fast product–market fit discovery through continuous customer feedback.

Across diverse domains including logistics, healthcare, clinical research, and SaaS, I have directly experienced how technology translates into business outcomes, and I thrive in organizations where the engineering team moves in lockstep with sales and marketing to maximize impact.

Continuing software development and technical advisory work that helps early-stage startups carry their technical decisions. I focus on MVP design, stack selection, system architecture diagnosis, and AI workflow automation, and I designed, built, and operate CargoSum — a freight calculator suite for logistics practitioners — along with my own brand site.

  • Built and operate CargoSum, a freight calculator suite — 3D container loading simulation, CBM and chargeable weight, freight class and density, pallet loading and trailer capacity, fuel surcharge and demurrage, and Incoterms 2020 reference, all running in the browser with no signup
  • AI workflow design and automation — analyze business processes to pinpoint where AI actually pays off, then design and implement workflows that produce measurable results
  • MVP design/build and domain system design — end-to-end ownership from stack selection through architecture design and prototype implementation, with scalability built in for growth
  • Built and operate the brand site solo — Next.js 16 + Tailwind CSS v4, deployed to Cloudflare Workers via OpenNextJS, including a multi-step consultation booking form and email delivery pipeline

Technical Lead

Perfectory Inc.

A solo, full-stack effort to design and build the entire technology stack for an industrial real estate proptech platform. Single-handedly developed the whole microservices monorepo — backend, frontend, mobile, LLM, data pipeline, auth, and infrastructure — and modeled a complex real estate domain with a DDD + CQRS architecture. I personally designed and implemented the LLM-powered features, elevating AI into a core product value, and expanded the platform rapidly along its roadmap (mobile app, new data layers, and more).

  • Solo-architected a DDD + CQRS system — encapsulated a complex real estate domain into aggregates and separated writes (JPA) from reads (jOOQ) to optimize spatial map queries and large-scale compound reads
  • Built the AI listing-description engine end to end — a LangGraph workflow analyzes listing data and streams the description, key highlights, and keywords in real time; personally designed the LLM security layer with prompt-injection defense and output masking
  • Map-based composite search UI — integrated multiple layers (court auctions, actual transaction prices, industrial complexes, building deterioration) into a single map; sustained high-volume performance with an abstract-class marker system and Canvas rendering
  • Public-data ETL pipeline — cleaned and loaded data from multiple government sources, refreshing it with zero downtime via atomic table swaps
  • Infrastructure as code and zero-downtime delivery — managed the entire infrastructure with IaC, ran Blue/Green deployments, and built CI/CD that auto-ships only the services that changed
  • Single-handedly owned the full cycle — from planning through design, development, deployment, and operations — across the user and admin web apps and the mobile app, expanding the product rapidly along its roadmap
