My Past

  • TaxCurb

    Software Engineer

    Dec 2025 — Present

    • Gated every deployment behind CI/CD compliance checks, so no push reaches production without passing them.
    • Designed the Node, Express and Firebase Admin backend: server-side credentials, token auth, rate limiting, input validation.
    • Built the pipelines that turn sparse user input into normalised, document-ready output.
