@ Code RerouteApr—Present2024 - Present
â–¹
Pioneered DevOps culture in a startup by adopting Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and automating end-to-end CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions, cutting manual release effort by 80%.
â–¹
Architected production-grade AWS ECS infrastructure with Terraform, provisioning VPC, ALB, IAM roles and policies, OIDC providers, ACM certificates, and ECR repositories.
â–¹
Optimized Docker images from 930 MB to 220 MB, improving build times and reducing ECR storage costs.
â–¹
Migrated deployment strategy from ECS to EC2 with Docker Compose for pre-launch cost optimization, including Nginx and SSL certificate auto-renewal.
â–¹
Implemented a staging observability platform on EC2 with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, and OpenTelemetry for metrics, logs, traces, and log-to-trace correlation before production launch.
â–¹
Developed an internal admin dashboard with Next.js and NestJS, integrating AWS SDK, CloudWatch Logs, Cost Explorer, Cloudflare geo-blocking controls, and Resend.
â–¹
Built an Admin Panel for a multi-tenant restaurant SaaS application using Next.js, shadcn/ui, and TanStack Query.

Observability Stack
Cost-aware bug detection before launch
Designed and deployed a staging observability stack on EC2 for a startup team using Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, and OpenTelemetry. The setup helps catch bugs earlier, control pre-launch infrastructure cost, and prepares the path for production ECS observability after launch.

Cloud DashboardECS Monitor Pro
Centralized AWS operations and business workflows
Built ECS MonitorPro as an internal cloud management platform for a startup, independently designing and developing real-time ECS cluster visibility, container health, task status, CloudWatch logs, AWS Cost Explorer metrics, Cloudflare geo-blocking, employee and applicant management, resume viewing, and Resend-powered bulk email campaigns.

SaaS Admin PlatformStartup Admin Platform
Central operational hub for a multi-tenant restaurant SaaS
Designed and developed a comprehensive internal administration platform for a startup's multi-tenant restaurant SaaS application. Built as the sole engineer with Next.js, TypeScript, NestJS, TanStack Query, and shadcn/ui, covering restaurant verification, ownership claim approvals, reservations, user moderation, blocked users, staff role assignment, advanced search and filtering, and detailed restaurant operational profiles.
Internal tool
Cloud DeliveryS3 CloudFront Frontend Delivery
Secure static hosting for internal startup platforms
Designed the frontend delivery architecture for ECS MonitorPro and the Startup Admin Platform by building static Next.js applications, hosting them in private Amazon S3 buckets, serving them through Amazon CloudFront as the CDN, and securing origin access with Origin Access Control. The infrastructure was provisioned with Terraform while NestJS backends were deployed separately on AWS.
Internal tool
AI Knowledge BaseDevCurate
Centralized developer learning resources with AI organization
Built an AI-powered knowledge base for developers who save learning resources across LinkedIn, Notion, GitHub, bookmarks, files, and notes. DevCurate ingests URLs, manual notes, PDFs, images, and documents, then uses AI for summarization, categorization, tag extraction, duplicate detection, semantic search, related content, learning paths, progress analytics, and freshness signals. The backend uses NestJS, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Prisma, OpenAI, JWT auth, AWS S3, Redis, and background job processing.
Private repository
Engineering ProductivityTaskerly
Cross-repo task, plan, docs, and context tracker
Developed a standalone task and plan tracker for personal engineering work across multiple repositories. Taskerly keeps repo tasks, durable implementation plans, append-only plan history, technical docs, doc versions, plan-to-doc links, external references, and last-context breadcrumbs together so work can resume quickly after context switches. The backend is built with NestJS, Prisma, and PostgreSQL, with a planned Next.js frontend.
