Engineering & Architectures
[ Beyond /the/ Surface ]
Media Streaming & Cloud Infrastructure
As a Senior Architect, I led the development from scratch of a high-scale media streaming platform from beta to production similar to YouTube Live. I also re-engineered our AWS EC2 infrastructure into a containerized ECS architecture; I designed and secured a multi-tier VPC and implemented automated CI/CD pipelines for our blue&green environments that reduced deployment errors by 99.99%. Beyond DevOps, I architected the end-to-end streaming engine, optimizing WebRTC signaling and server performance to support over 5,000 concurrent users on a single call. By prioritizing rigorous system design documentation and demand forecasting, I ensured the platform remained performant, cost-effective, and technically resilient across all devices.
Fintech: AI Loan Application
I architected a high-performance LLM inference proxy in Golang, specifically engineered for AI agents requiring high availability and low-latency contextual responses. This system integrated advanced RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and intelligent user-history tracking to deliver record-breaking response times. My work extended into the core of AI intelligence, where I developed ranking algorithms using Learning to Rank (LTR) and Python, while simultaneously crafting the sophisticated NextJS interface that powers the chatbot’s user experience.
Music Mixing Mobile App
I bridged the gap between high-level interface and low-level performance by engineering a cross-platform audio mixing engine. By integrating native C++, Kotlin, Swift, and Objective-C logic through the React Native Bridge API, I delivered professional-grade audio processing with the fluid responsiveness of a TypeScript-driven frontend. This architecture brought studio-quality mixing capabilities to mobile devices, ensuring high-fidelity sound and near-zero latency for a seamless creative experience.
