Experience
CragSoftware
Co-founded a software studio for data, automation, and AI systems that scale. Building our own products on top of it: CragData, a discovery layer for AI agents across documents, subdomains, and APIs, and CragLens, event intelligence that finds real estate deals before they are listed.
SafePath Institute
Designed and implemented a distributed queue architecture using PGMQ integrated with Supabase PostgREST, processing 10,000+ messages daily. Reduced system message load from 18,000 to 10,000 while maintaining the same user experience by consolidating redundant queue operations and implementing intelligent batching. Eliminated loading bottlenecks through asynchronous queue-based workflows. Built a dynamic observability system with structured logging and real-time metrics via Hotjar and Vercel Analytics. Resolved high memory consumption with request deduplication and caching strategies.
Sifty
Built and maintained a modular, high-scale scraping framework using Python, YAML directives, RabbitMQ, rotating proxies, Docker, and shadow browsing, ensuring 99.9% pipeline uptime. Automated scraping directive creation and onboarding of new data sources, reducing setup time by 30%. Improved backend stability and CI/CD workflows with Docker and GitHub Actions, cutting manual maintenance by 40%.
