    I keep turning single-tenant hacks into systems that scale to N — without a rewrite.

    In my last role, I took a Fortune 50 telecom client&#x27;s warehouse platform from a hardcoded single-store system to a config-driven multi-store architecture, taking daily EDI throughput from ~200 to 500-600+ transactions&#x2F;day with support for unlimited future store onboarding. Same instinct shows up elsewhere I&#x27;ve worked: an async forecasting engine that now powers $30-40M revenue and $10-20M labour projections across 10-12 warehouses, and a geospatial load-matching engine (PC Miler + DAT APIs) that cut empty driver miles from 35%+ to under 25%.

    Recently I&#x27;ve been applying the same discipline to AI products. Memorix (Live: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;memorix-sepia-kappa.vercel.app&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;memorix-sepia-kappa.vercel.app&#x2F;) is a multi-tenant RAG platform , Pinecone namespace partitioning and Supabase RLS for isolation, two-stage retrieval&#x2F;reranking, OAuth into GitHub&#x2F;Slack&#x2F;Notion&#x2F;Confluence.

    NextFlow is a DAG-based AI workflow engine (React Flow + Trigger.dev) where independent nodes run concurrently via topological sort, with branch-isolated fault tolerance so one failure doesn&#x27;t take down the rest.

    Currently going deep on AI agents and MCP — interested in roles where I can take that from prototype to production.

    Looking for backend, full-stack, or applied AI&#x2F;GenAI engineering roles.
