    Full-Stack Engineer

    Delivered custom full-stack software for retail business clients, including database systems, backend services, and client-facing websites, owning each project independently from requirements through deployment.

    Architected and maintained database schemas, RESTful APIs, and server-side logic across multiple client engagements, working as the sole engineer responsible for technical decisions and system reliability.

    Worked directly with clients throughout the development lifecycle to translate business requirements into functional, production-ready software, managing both technical implementation and client communication.

    Software Engineer

    Delivered full-stack modules for Centhesys, a SaaS HCM platform, spanning 6 core modules including leave, overtime, undertime, work-from-home, attendance, and offboarding, building UI, backend APIs, and schemas for each.

    Built the attendance module end to end across mobile and web, reaching feature-complete status in staging, by implementing geofence and IP-based clock-in validation, an NTE workflow with e-signature, and a real-time DTR aggregation engine.

    Automated document-review workflows on the web, by building OCR- and AI-based validation pipelines using Gemini that extract and verify data from uploaded documents and screenshots, replacing manual review for offboarding and loan processing.

    Designed and built the reusable UI component library powering the entire web application of the SaaS HCM platform, including shared headers, cards, modals, layout primitives, and loading states, used consistently across every module and screen.
