• Authored RFC-001 and architected a contract-first CMS backend service from scratch to replace an unstable third-party vendor. Implemented the service in Go, replacing a TypeScript/Bun approach for this domain. Designed async pub/sub with RabbitMQ and sync reads over gRPC. Built a configurable per-domain dual-write mirroring system that isolated upstream breaks per service. Reverse-engineered a 20-table PostgreSQL schema from live API responses, automated Zod schema decomposition (2,800+ lines → 25 domain files), and delivered the CI/CD and auth foundation
• Automated high-volume media migration (~2,200 files, ~273 GB) from Google Drive to internal infrastructure, reducing ~1 week of manual effort to 12 hours. Built an idempotent Python pipeline with codec validation, adaptive retries, and resilient error handling under API rate limits
• Built and ran idempotent push notification scripts targeting ~30K users via FCM with full delivery tracking and documentation (~17K delivered, ~12K unreachable). Executed multiple targeted notification campaigns with zero duplicates
• Diagnosed a recurring HTTP 500 in Radio while tuning Datadog alert baselines, led production error triage across time windows, traced the root cause to a content-type mismatch in the frontend, and redirected accordingly, avoiding an unnecessary backend change
• Diagnosed and fixed a production integer overflow bug in the Radio API where iOS listen_position values exceeded PostgreSQL integer range, then deployed a guard capping values at 24 hours; diagnosed a Redis dedup guard failure where timestamp fields made each webhook payload byte-unique; and proposed and documented separate 4xx and 5xx Datadog monitoring to reduce alert fatigue from guard-originated 400s being counted as errors
• Authored the Radio CMS proposal — accepted by CTO and Director of Engineering — to replace a third-party vendor with an internal system, shifting recurring operational tasks away from engineering and reducing team toil

• Delivered multiple query and endpoint optimizations. Achieved an ~11× p95 improvement on a timeline query and a ~20× latency reduction on a critical feed endpoint through query decomposition and targeted indexing
• Resolved systemic data integrity issues — eliminated recurring foreign key failures from auth/DB state drift and fixed a race condition in a critical endpoint with Redis locking. Acted as first responder during a backend outage and strengthened monitoring safeguards
• Re-architected Datadog anomaly monitoring to separate downtime from spike detection, reducing alert fatigue. Designed a state-driven dynamic ads pipeline and established a Measure → Improve → Measure performance optimization process with documentation and tracking templates
