Software Engineer & Project Lead
PetConnect
PetConnect is a cross-platform ecosystem bridging social engagement with local government services. I architected the integration between a public-facing social mobile app and a secure municipal admin panel, managing the full development lifecycle and stakeholder requirements.

Social-to-Government (P2G) Logic
Designed the bridge between public social interactions and formal municipal adoption/registration workflows.
- Lifecycle Integration: Designed the flow where social posts (found pets) transition into official municipal redemption cases.
- Stakeholder Liaison: Facilitated discovery sessions with local units to map legal pet registration into a digital user experience.
- Research Documentation: Authored system research and requirements that translated local government policies into technical specs.
Optimized Full-Stack Engineering
Prioritized high-performance client logic and robust infrastructure to handle real-time social and legal data.
- Efficiency Specs: Implemented client-side debouncing and server-side pagination to ensure smooth social feed performance.
- Data Integrity: Collaborated on the SQL schema design to ensure ACID compliance for legal ownership and health records.
- Compute Strategy: Chose Vercel and Aiven to provide a low-latency, zero-maintenance environment for the distributed stack.
Agile Leadership & Access Control
Managed the SDLC while ensuring strict data privacy between public users and government officials.
- RBAC Design: Engineered a multi-tier permission matrix to protect sensitive municipal data from public social layers.
- Real-time Logic: Designed the event-driven notification pipeline using WebSockets to alert users of official status updates.
- Agile Execution: Managed the project from Figma prototyping to Postman validation, ensuring a high deployment frequency.
