Work Experience

Software Engineer L2

Feb 2026 – Present

  • Leading the product legacy initiative, serving as the primary liaison between engineering and the customer support team to triage critical issues, prioritize high-impact fixes, and drive rapid resolution cycles — consistently delivering production patches within tight SLAs
  • Redesigned HTML header/footer rendering with batch processing and warm tab reuse, delivering 1.4x–5.5x faster rendering and 5–15% lower memory usage on large PDFs
  • Compiled ZXing C++ barcode engine into WebAssembly and integrated with Blazor WebAssembly, enabling barcode encode/decode in browser-based and serverless environments
Software Engineer

May 2025 – Jan 2026

  • Spearheaded in-memory multi-page TIFF conversion achieving 3.4x faster PDF processing and 95% lower memory usage, enabling scalable cloud and serverless deployments
  • Built in-house PPTX-to-image conversion pipeline, reducing processing time by 40% and boosting rendering reliability by over 90%
  • Engineered full PDF/UA accessibility compliance for HTML-to-PDF rendering — fixing annotation ordering, cross-page MCID assignment, and ParentTree integrity — achieving 100% PAC and VeraPDF pass rate with 5–10x faster tag tree processing
  • Implemented a robust PDF digital signature verification pipeline with certificate trust chain validation, revocation status checking, weak algorithm detection, byte-range integrity verification, and incremental tampering detection for multi-signature documents
  • Extended OCR passport reading with full MRZ field parsing and best-effort Visual Inspection Zone (VIZ) extraction including gender and date-of-issue fields
