About

I'm a Software Engineer with 2.5+ years of experience in building end-to-end applications. I've worked on multiple projects across various companies, gaining hands-on experience with modern technologies, microservices, cloud infrastructures. Currently working as a Lead Software Engineer at Roger (YC S24) building AI-powered products.

Work Experience

Roger (YC S24)

June 2025 - Present
Founding Software Engineer (Lead)
• Built Roger’s core AI lead-finding engine from scratch, including intent-signal lead finding (hiring and competitor-follower signals), and scaled it while the company's paying B2B customers grew 20x. • Cut cost per lead by 10x with a multi-stage retrieval funnel: LLM search planning into firmographic filters, Typesense vector search, a Jev (TypeSafe AI) pre-filter, OpenSearch kNN people search, reranking, LLM fit/competitor/role filters on surviving candidates, and email enrichment. • Ran model evaluations on hand-labeled data to migrate the LLM filters to a 5x cheaper model with no drop in filtering accuracy, tuned vector and rerank thresholds for ∼95% recall on a huge candidate pool, and rebalanced the funnel to preserve precision. • Ran a 3-node OpenSearch cluster with 400M+ people records and built its monthly ingestion pipeline on Azure infrastructure. • Engineered the engine for production on BullMQ/Redis: resumable, idempotent paginated jobs with per-page checkpoints, per-job cost limits, auto-retirement of unproductive queries, queue prioritization, and graceful recovery. • Launched influencer marketing as a new outreach channel: customers find relevant LinkedIn creators (semantic search, LLM vetting, fake-engagement detection) and pitch them paid promos, with tracking of deliverables and outreach outcomes. • Built autonomous campaign management with AI agents: a daily LLM agent reviews each org’s campaign performance and edits or creates campaigns with validation and cooldowns, plus self-healing fallback campaigns when leads run out. • As lead engineer, reviewed other developers’ code across multiple services: the Next.js app, Express lead API and BullMQ workers.
