Nov. 2018I lead the development of the entire technical infrastructure for a cutting-edge short-form video platform, directing a team of six while maintaining individual contributor responsibilities. My role involves interfacing with investor advisors, crafting and executing the technical delivery roadmap, and designing systems architecture using AWS as the foundation for all operations. Utilizing a comprehensive tech stack including PHP, React/React-Native, Elastic Search, and JavaScript, I build robust and scalable solutions. Overall, I play a pivotal role in problem-solving and infrastructure management, ensuring the platform's scalability and performance.
