Senior Software Engineer
Joined as a Senior Frontend Engineer. Worked from day one on Global Indirect Tax Infrastructure.
Built the product layer initially — then transitioned toward API design, systems thinking,
backend architecture. Over time, I moved from building interfaces to building the systems underneath.
I found deeper satisfaction in designing how systems interact with each other rather than
how humans interact with systems.
Frontend Engineer
Locale worked on geospatial decision intelligence. Data from mobility systems, parking networks,
e-commerce flows, location-based demand signals. One platform to centralize, query, and act on.
We built data visualization systems, operational alerting tools, workflow orchestration platforms.
Eventually, the company moved toward AI-driven outbound intelligence. Something like what's now
called AI SDRs.
This was during GPT-3's emergence. The idea was to build intelligent outreach on top of existing
models without owning foundational AI infrastructure. Technically possible, but the models were
non-deterministic, inconsistent, difficult to productionize.
My decision to leave wasn't because the company was struggling. It was because I stopped believing
in the timing. Waiting for feasibility to catch up with ambition wasn't the path I wanted to take.

Software Engineer Intern
Worked on the second version of their data collaboration platform. Built a module called
Insights. A place where users could explore data across multiple sources, join datasets
via SQL and NoSQL interfaces, track query history, link outputs to analysis layers.
Helped build the system end-to-end within months. Received a full-time offer. Chose not to continue.
Co-founder
First venture. Co-founded with seniors in my 7th semester.
The goal: bring hyperlocal businesses online. Grocery stores, clinics, restaurants,
local service providers. One platform for them to sell to customers directly.
To drive adoption, we created a hyperlocal event-layer. Mapping stalls, sub-events,
bookings, ordering points for large events and festivals. Users could discover, book,
order, collect. A distribution-first approach disguised as utility.
Stepped away after nine months. Not because the idea failed, but because I lacked ecosystem
exposure, financial pressure was real, and I chose stability over continuation at that stage.
