Led resolution of critical Candidates Pipeline issues, tracing data-flow bottlenecks between frontend and backend and restoring reliable candidate status updates across the recruiter dashboard.

Owned the MCP Quota Observability system end to end — real-time interfaces tracking AI tool consumption against usage quotas, giving the team visibility to prevent service disruption.

Delivered MCP Connectors for AI tool integration, standardising communication with external AI services and cutting onboarding effort for future integrations.

Maintained the CI pipeline and reviewed pull requests across the MCP Server codebase, resolving cross-environment build failures for consistent staging and production deploys.

Led a Vercel environment-variable security hardening initiative, eliminating secret exposure risk and establishing a secure variable workflow adopted team-wide.

Built Qova Protocol — financial trust infrastructure enabling AI agents to build, verify and leverage on-chain reputation scores on Base L2.

Contributed across a TypeScript SDK, a 21-endpoint REST API (Hono + Bun), a Next.js reputation dashboard and a Python SDK, backed by 264 automated tests.

Shipped 7 Solidity contracts — ReputationRegistry, TransactionValidator, BudgetEnforcer, QovaCore — deployed to Base Sepolia and SKALE, with Chainlink CRE workflows for live scoring.

Led integration support for LangGraph, CrewAI and n8n so developers could embed reputation scoring and budget enforcement into agent workflows.

Contributed to Nyota, a national satellite reentry tracking and visualisation system commissioned to strengthen space situational awareness at government level.

Owned the React frontend: interactive real-time orbital maps with Leaflet.js and Satellite.js, rendering live TLE streams from NORAD and the Space-Track API.

Owned the data integration layer to the ML prediction modules, establishing contracts for orbital decay forecasts and reentry corridor outputs with low-latency updates.

Represented the frontend in design reviews and sprint planning, unblocking integration issues to land the full system inside the three-month window.
