Experience

Professional journey

Roles where I shipped full-stack products end to end — frontend, backend, AI features, and the cloud infrastructure behind them.

Senior Software Engineer

VortiQ[x]Dec 2025 — Present

Architected a strategic migration from AWS to a Proxmox-based on-premise VM environment, cutting annual operational overhead by 40%.
Built a high-velocity CI/CD ecosystem — containerized legacy services with Docker and orchestrated deploys via Dokploy, reducing deployment latency 70% through automated webhook pipelines.
Pivoted AI infrastructure from third-party APIs to a self-hosted LLM architecture with Ollama, eliminating subscription costs and hosting models locally for data privacy.
Hardened network security by replacing legacy Nginx HTTPS with Cloudflare Tunnels — secure, zero-trust external access with no open firewall ports.
Developed an AI-driven GRC platform automating regulatory gap analysis via a hybrid RAG pipeline (Milvus + BM25 + LLM reranking) with real-time progress streaming and a human-in-the-loop reviewer workflow.
Built a distributed real-time task engine with Celery and Redis for high-concurrency document ingestion and background vector embedding.
Engineered a centralized observability stack with OpenObserve to aggregate logs and traces, reducing MTTR across distributed microservices.
Shipped an org-wide self-hosted AI PR-review pipeline using Qodo PR-Agent, a GitHub App, Dokploy, and Ollama (qwen2.5-coder:14b) at near-zero cost.

Software Engineer

MarinaChainOct 2024 — Present

Sped up KR-Type1 IMO DCS and CII Excel processing by containerizing AWS Lambda on ECR with openpyxl — 60s to 6s (≈92% faster).
Optimized the Fleet Graph API with multi-threaded parallel computation — 40s to 5s (≈87.5%), adding Redis caching to bring repeat requests to ~1s.
Implemented an in-memory batching mechanism for OpenObserve APM logging using a dequeue system — up to 90% fewer HTTP requests with zero log loss via shutdown handlers.
Achieved a 48% Docker image size reduction (1.85GB → 955MB) through multi-stage builds and migrating pip to uv.
Built a unified observability and deployment pipeline with middleware error handling (OpenObserve APM/RUM) and CI/CD via Cloudflare CDN and S3/Amplify.
Enhanced marine reporting with LLM-based parsing for ship reports, strengthening KR-Type1 and EU-ETS logic through arrival–departure pairing and leg extraction.
Built a multi-layered code-quality pipeline — Lefthook pre-commit with Biome, Ruff, BasePyright, plus PR-level Knip, jscpd, and ast-grep for dead code and duplication.
Contributed major Maritime SaaS features and AI Agents across frontend and backend with Django, FastAPI, React, and Vue.

Part-time Full-stack Developer

UniLah. The Student AppJan 2025 — Present

Set up GitLab CI/CD pipelines to automate deployment for the events and deals listing platform.
Managed and optimized GCP infrastructure (Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL, Compute Engine), deployed frontends via Firebase Hosting, and resolved server downtime.
Redesigned backend architecture and user flow to allow events and deals enrollment without login or registration.
Supervised intern engineers with technical guidance and hands-on support.
Managed 4 repositories (1 BE, 3 FE) for updates, bug tracking, and stability.

Full-stack Developer Intern

MarinaChainJul 2024 — Oct 2024

Built Vue.js frontend features — notifications, newsletters, ship-spec and fuel-oil modals, SideNav overhaul, V-Select migration, account deletion, and a foldable chatbot.
Improved backend performance by reducing query calls, adding backend pagination, and streamlining Django API interactions.
Optimized Holt API interactions for EUA price comparisons using Redis caching.
Implemented soft delete for critical entities — users, ships, and companies.
Refined vessel-tracking maps with adaptive zoom and bounding-box calculations.

Part-Time Software Engineer

Padepokan Tujuh SembilanFeb 2022 — Feb 2023

Built responsive, mobile-friendly interfaces from mockups using React.
Integrated APIs to enhance frontend functionality and data retrieval.
Leveraged state management to share application state across components.
Participated in Agile processes — sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives.

Web3 Is Not Always About Crypto

Paying for overseas services like AI subscriptions with crypto is often far cheaper and faster than a bank and SWIFT — here's the flow I use.

Why Companies Run Local LLMs On-Premise

Many companies run local models on their own servers instead of the OpenAI or Anthropic API — driven by privacy, security, and deliberately layered releases.
