    Full-stack engineer who spent nine years in manufacturing process&#x2F;R&amp;D watching production data live and die in unversioned Excel files, then retrained to build the systems that should have existed. Part-time at Downshift by design; looking for a full-time role, available now.

    - At Downshift (TypeScript&#x2F;NestJS&#x2F;React Native): wiring iOS home-screen widgets to live data, and reworking dashboard drag-and-drop to commit once on drop instead of calling the API on every move.

    - Replaced a legacy Excel dataset with a Rails 8 + PostgreSQL app — schema design, data migration, and real-time dashboards in place of manual reports.

    - Shipped Gemini-backed pipelines for automated i18n across 3 locales and structured extraction of medical data from uploaded images.

    - Built auth from scratch in Rails, including OmniAuth for Google, GitHub, and LINE.
