I'm Lead Software Engineer at LottieFiles, where I maintain the official dotLottie player stack end to end: dotlottie-rs (a production Rust runtime compiled to WebAssembly for the web and to native iOS/Android libraries from one codebase) and dotlottie-web (the TypeScript player and its React/Vue/Svelte/SolidJS packages — 10M+ npm downloads/month). The runtime parses untrusted third-party files on every client installation, so memory safety, input validation and frame-budget performance are my daily constraints. Before that: backend at TikTok on systems serving hundreds of millions of users, and 3 years of enterprise React/TypeScript at Adform. I also contribute to ThorVG (C++ vector graphics engine). Looking for senior/staff systems, runtime, graphics, or frontend-infrastructure work — remote from Indonesia or relocation with sponsorship.

22, self-taught. Won a $100K Meta Llama Impact Grant for Bluai and presented it at LlamaCon on 2025
Bluai (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bluai.app&...) is a hurricane early-warning app live on Google Play in Mexico, built offline-first because during a hurricane the network is the first thing to go. An online RAG pipeline and an on-device Llama 3.2 (ExecuTorch, NPU-accelerated) sit behind one interface, picking 1B or 3B based on device RAM, so the UI never knows which brain answered. When everything is down it falls back to Bluetooth/Wi-Fi mesh chat over a multi-hop wire protocol.
Email me one paragraph about something broken or missing in your product. I'll build a working prototype and send you the repo plus a short video of it running, within 48 hours. Free. No call, no interview, no invoice. If you like it, we talk. If not, you keep the code.
Flexible on compensation for the right team. I'm optimizing for who I'd be learning from, more than thinking in numbers.

Backend engineer, ~3 years. Currently building a 9-service biometric verification platform end-to-end as a solo contractor — FastAPI + Postgres 16 with Fernet-encrypted PII and PgBouncer transaction pooling, an APScheduler container coordinating AWS Rekognition with two Java microservices for fingerprint and iris matching, plus a Kotlin Android client with offline-first sync. https://github.com/bansal247/exam_biometrics_server
Before this, low-latency Go services at Longshot Systems (London algo-trading firm). Joined without Go, was shipping in my second month — comfortable picking up new stacks fast.
In parallel, solo client work on Upwork: 32 jobs, 1,100+ hours, 100% Job Success Score, 5.0/5.0 rating, Rising Talent badge, repeat clients. Across Python/Go automation, MERN-stack apps, ML/CV, and JS/React. Profile: upwork.com/freelancers/~01adc60eaf87e012ae .
