► Designed and published an NPM package to cache GraphQL queries using in-memory caching to reduce load times by >99%, employing Local Forage and IndexedDB to accomplish persistence between sessions

► Created custom LRU eviction policy based caching algorithm that self sorts based on recency and maintains the user’s designated capacity utilising HashMap and doubly linked list for its amortised constant time O(1) performance

► Originated and built a GraphQL schema and a PostgreSQL database to mirror a typical GraphQL use-case, ensuring consistency in the LightQL library by providing a realistic testing environment for a smoother product launch

► Implemented TypeScript over the existing codebase to leverage custom types, type enforcement and informative error handling to improve readability, allow clearer debugging, and increase overall efficiency of the development process

► Leveraged React Hooks and React Router to create a full-stack demonstration app: a highly-interactive, performant user interface containing reusable components to manage state and reduce DOM re-renders for streamlined user experience

► Executed Test Driven Development via Jest, to perform unit tests, ensuring that code is both performant and functional, and that a reliable engineering environment is established, avoiding unintended side effects during CI/CD

► Adopted Chart.js in demo to dynamically render cache responses to prove <1ms cached run time vs >1300ms uncached

► Product developed under tech accelerator OS Labs, achieving >500 monthly average downloads during its peak

After leaving tech banking, I worked on 3 different side businesses. 1 failed, 2 had success a la exits. The 2 were a real-estate (co-living) investment business, and an indie-hacked (bootstrapped) SaaS product that turned profitable. Inspired by Derek Sivers' "Anything You Want", none of these were intellectually stimulating so I followed my curiosity and moved on to becoming more technical working w strong teams.

Worked with Germans and learned efficiency.

A young immigrant in the trenches: while studying I worked several sales jobs (doing cold outreach by phone, email, or face-to-face) ranging from call centres to real estate brokerage to startups. Attended Toastmasters. Also built computers, built my own ecommerce sites, built a profitable events company, managed a team, plus a lot more. Way more valuable than any experience I've had in the corporate world.
