  • Architected modular Flask APIs with SQLAlchemy for scalable backend operations
  • Designed custom Flask decorators to reduce boilerplate for authentication, validation, and CRUD handling

Key Features

  • Developed a high-performance job search module with fast response times
  • Introduced a student leaderboard to boost community engagement
  • Automated lead tracking by integrating with third-party legal tech software

Impact

  • Enhanced platform stability and reduced latency, improving user experience
  • Boosted engagement through gamified features like leaderboards and timely notifications
  • Improved developer velocity by enforcing coding standards and reusable components
  • Accelerated delivery cycles, e.g., shipped a production-ready job platform in under two weeks
