Strong systems are built for the conditions they actually face.

At QIQMSB Inc., I’ve taken products from early design to production: offline-first point-of-sale software, hardware-integrated mobile apps, and cloud-connected operations platforms. I work across the stack, with a particular interest in distributed systems, data consistency, and performance under real-world load.

I hold an M.S. in Software Engineering from California State University, Northridge. Outside of production work, I build practical AI and machine-learning tools.

My Journey

Software Engineer

QIQMSB Inc | Jan 2025 - Present

Restaurant Point-of-Sale System Project

Led architecture and development of an offline-first distributed POS system across 5+ terminals with local SQLite persistence and eventual-consistency cloud sync, preventing data loss during network partitions.
Built the conflict-resolution sync engine reconciling offline terminal transactions with centralized state, reducing order reconciliation time by 25%.
Engineered native Kotlin/Java modules for USB, Serial, and IP communication with printers, PIN pads, and secondary displays in a modular React Native architecture, reducing hardware configuration errors by 20%.
Profiled and resolved application memory leaks, reducing memory consumption by 35% and improving runtime stability under sustained high-throughput transaction loads.
Architected a Next.js Admin Portal (Fastify, Prisma, PostgreSQL) for multi-branch restaurant management, adding Redis-cached reporting APIs that reduced report latency by 95% (1.1s to 50ms), with interactive dashboards and PDF/CSV exports.
Built and deployed an MCP server with RAG for merchants and employees, providing AI-powered documentation Q&A and reducing support ticket resolution time by 30%.
Integrated QuickBooks via OAuth and transaction synchronization, automating financial reconciliation and saving restaurant merchants ~2 hours/week.
Implemented GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines with automated Jest, Vitest and integration testing, streamlining builds, versioned releases, and regression validation.

Retail POS Project

Overhauled customer-facing Admin Portal for retail POS system serving 200+ daily active users, reducing report generation time by 40% through automated data aggregation and streamlined UX.
Built modular analytics dashboard for Retail POS Admin Portal (ASP.NET C#, SQL, Tailwind CSS) with optimized query patterns for near real-time sales/inventory aggregation, reducing report analysis time by 35%.
Implemented government-mandated KYC compliance fields in the POS cashier application, including persistent default customer data, streamlining cashier workflows and reducing manual data entry during transactions.

Software Engineer (Contract)

QIQMSB Inc | Sep 2024 - Jan 2025

Internal Management Portal Project

Revamped internal management portal (ASP.NET C#, Tailwind CSS, SQL), consolidating subcontractor tracking, ticketing, inventory, and document storage into one system, improving task completion efficiency by 40% through streamlined workflows and UI optimization.
Built backend data pipelines automating generation of 8+ recurring reports, reducing manual effort by 30% and improving reporting reliability.

Student Software Developer

ARCS CSUN (University Research Center) | Jun 2023 - Jan 2024

Developed React Native mobile app for athletes using Agile methodology, integrating Firebase Authentication and Firestore database with optimized schema design.
Implemented real-time data synchronization with Firebase, improving sync speed by 10% and ensuring reliable performance through comprehensive error handling.
Built responsive UI components and optimized state management using Redux and LocalStorage, reducing data load times by 25% and eliminating UI lag.
