2023 — Present
Blu Digital Group
Software Engineeracquired by TransPerfect
Built and modernized features across an end-to-end media supply chain — ingest, transcoding, workflow orchestration, QC, and delivery — on a multi-tenant platform serving major studio and streaming clients. Shipped across nine services and served as a primary reviewer for infrastructure and migration work. Acquired by TransPerfect Translations in 2025.
- Sole engineer on BluTransfer — designed, built, and operated a TypeScript serverless service moving large-format media across S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Rstor, OpenDrive, and IBM Aspera FASP, sustaining roughly 7,000 file transfers a week at 150–300 MB/s
- Replaced a fixed three-worker transfer pool — where three long-running jobs blocked the entire queue — with an autoscaling ECS fleet that bursts to 100 concurrent transfers, eliminating head-of-line blocking
- Built cost-aware egress routing that selects a transfer path per provider contract, encoding asymmetric upload/download rates and included-egress allowances, with on-premise integration for local delivery
- Led Vue 2 → 3 and Laravel 8 → 12 migrations across the platform's front end and PHP core, improving page load times 75%
- Cut a studio dashboard's load time from 40s to 1.9s (95% faster) by memoizing per-tenant config resolution, eliminating ~15,000 redundant cache reads per request
- Replaced the async workflow engine in the next-generation Nuxt 4 platform with Trigger.dev, adding per-branch preview deployments and self-healing CI dispatch routing
- Migrated BluTransfer from MySQL to PostgreSQL on Aurora and upgraded SST 3 → 4 onto a shared-VPC topology, then automated enterprise OIDC client registration to remove a manual cross-team ticket from every new environment
- Built ephemeral per-PR environments — isolated subdomain, database, and auth client, provisioned on open and torn down on close with nightly sweeps — replacing a contended shared staging queue
- Built out the Cypress end-to-end suite and the non-production login endpoint that unblocked automated testing behind MFA
- Extended the team's AI harness with pattern rules, agent definitions, and CI quality gates for PR review, issue triage, and migration-conflict repair; authored a stack-agnostic harness template for AI-assisted development
