Experience

    • Built an internal tool, a bilingual (Japanese to English) platform that supports 20+ annual investor reports, with React/TypeScript interfaces and FastAPI endpoints over shared Python services.
    • Cut median chapter-rename latency 23.1% (17.9s to 13.8s) on a 93-page benchmark and reduced full-record cloud reads 78% (51 to 11) by reusing verified projections.
    • Prevented silent overwrites from concurrent edits with compare-and-swap writes, and closed 13 authorization bypasses by re-checking page-level access before every mutation.
    • Engineered Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools and AI assistance with deterministic framework retrieval and human review; provenance matched recorded retrieval in 26/26 live audit questions.
    • Shipped a React/FastAPI migration with isolated release checks and guarded launch/rollback tooling, validated by 713 API tests and 392 frontend tests plus typechecked API contracts.
    • Coordinated parallel AI coding agents (architect, page workspace, QA) using written file-ownership rules, a work queue, and integration contracts to avoid merge collisions.
    • Doubled website conversion rate by rebuilding the frontend and optimizing the Shopify store.
    • Built automated email workflows alongside the rebuild.
    • Developed and maintained the company website.
    • Led weekly labs for 20+ students in CS 61A, UC Berkeley's intro CS course.
    • Taught recursion, higher-order functions, SQL, concurrency, and Scheme.
    • Helped students debug assignments and understand core CS concepts.
    • Cut manual data-entry errors 30% by writing Python scripts that validate the Excel datasets used in QA workflows.
    • Kept test and inventory data accurate in Excel for a test-equipment manufacturer.
    • Supported HAZMAT handling and equipment calibration procedures.
