Experience

Mid-level Software Engineer

Jan 2025 – Present
Innovative Extremist
  • Raised retrieval accuracy to ~95% on an 81-case evaluation set for an enterprise AI chat application on open-source LLMs, iterating a user-feedback loop over the retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline; client demos generated new business leads.
  • Built the Thai PBS Election ’69 results dashboard (TanStack Start, React 19) serving 200,000+ peak concurrent viewers across 77 provinces, with live result polling and a drag-and-drop coalition builder; delivered the prior Election ’68 site (Next.js) at the same scale.
  • Shipped two type-safe TypeScript products for Allianz Ayudhya, a mobile-first agent portal and a sales analytics dashboard (Next.js, tRPC on Fastify, Drizzle, PostgreSQL, Redis), replacing on-request Excel reports for large offices with self-service analytics every agent can track.
  • Engineered ByteArk Lighthouse, a video-streaming analytics platform on a Next.js backend-for-frontend with tRPC, surfacing AI-generated insights (Vercel AI SDK, Dify) that lead with most-watched content and peak viewing times.
  • Led internal AI-tooling workshops on Claude Code across three engineering teams, with 90% of engineers adopting it effectively.
