As a Software Developer on the platform team, I was responsible for designing and developing key platform features from inception to end-to-end integration. During my tenure at Synaptic, I led and contributed to impactful projects such as the Authentication System, Notification Framework, and Platform Usage Analyzer, which directly enhanced customer retention.
Additionally, I focused on optimizing system performance by profiling legacy code to identify and address memory bloat issues. I also improved query performance, which resulted in decreased server load and reduced operational costs. My efforts in these areas significantly contributed to the stability and efficiency of our platform.

During my internship at Synaptic, I designed and implemented a custom Slack-Notion integration using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and the Serverless framework. This integration enabled seamless creation of work logs and documentation within Notion directly from Slack, significantly enhancing workflow efficiency for managers and developers.
Additionally, I optimized MySQL database queries, which reduced page load times by 15% and improved overall application performance. These contributions helped streamline operations and boost the efficiency of our platform.
