experience
Tint· Founding Engineer · Travel Tech Startup
Apr 2026 – Present- ▸System Design & Backend: Owned end-to-end architecture of a live travel platform — async FastAPI on Railway with Neon Postgres, Upstash Redis for sliding-window rate limiting and session caching, and AWS S3 with presigned URLs for private media; designed a three-stage AI pipeline (Tavily → OpenAI → Pexels) with HTTP 202 async polling achieving ~70% reduction in perceived wait time; benchmarked GPT models and migrated to gpt-5.4-mini for an 86% cost reduction and 20% latency improvement.
- ▸Auth & Partner CRM: Architected a three-principal JWT system (consumer/admin/partner) with independent HMAC secrets — Twilio phone OTP for consumers, bcrypt + TOTP 2FA for admins, invite-only partner onboarding with field-level encryption on sensitive KYC data; built a supply-side CRM for hosts, guides, and agencies with a status-gated workflow, S3 document management, and a self-service partner portal on a dedicated subdomain.
- ▸Admin Platform & Analytics: Built and shipped a full internal admin platform (Next.js 16, AWS Amplify) with three-tier RBAC (super/ops/support admin), trip and booking management, direct-to-S3 image uploads, and role-gated user lifecycle controls; implemented live analytics using SQLAlchemy date_trunc time-series aggregation surfaced as sparkline charts, resolved a subtle ORM bind-parameter collision in GROUP BY expressions, and shipped with zero-downtime deploys via GitHub Actions CI/CD.
