Case Study

Supabase (open source contribution)

Project #1

## The Problem Empty cells during Supabase CSV imports were treated inconsistently, admins couldn't control whether they became NULL or empty strings, causing confusion across large dataset workflows. --- ## Collaboration Worked with Charis Lam and Deni Mintsaev (issue #43258) to identify a better UX for nullable imports after reviewing PR #43281. --- ## The Solution Implemented PR #44515, a **multi-select dropdown** letting admins choose which columns treat empty CSV cells as NULL. - Selected columns → empty cells become `NULL` - Unselected columns → empty cells remain `""` --- ## Impact - Cleaner import clarity - Better admin control - Improved database consistency - More predictable workflows

Smsa fleet management system

Case Study

Smsa fleet management system

Project #3

## Overview SMSA Fleet and SMSA Tracking are logistics workflow platforms where I contributed as a Java Full-Stack Developer, working across both Angular frontend modules and Spring Boot backend APIs from requirements through to go-live. --- ## My Contributions - **Search API Development**, Built a advanced search system with multiple filters and criteria using JPA queries, enabling powerful data lookup across large logistics datasets - **REST API Development**, Designed and implemented Spring Boot endpoints handling core logistics workflow operations - **Angular Modules**, Built and maintained frontend modules for fleet and tracking interfaces --- ## The Search Challenge Logistics data is complex, fleet records, tracking entries, routes, and statuses all need to be queryable in combination. I engineered the search API using **JPA Specifications** to support dynamic multi-filter queries, making it flexible enough to handle any combination of search criteria without hardcoding individual query paths. --- ## Tech Stack Built with **Angular**, **Java Spring Boot**, **JPA**, and **REST APIs**, contributed across both frontend and backend layers in a production logistics environment.

Printlab

Printlab

Project #5

## Overview PrintLab is a digital printing platform built for 5,000+ users, modernizing traditional print operations through automated workflows and a clean, intuitive interface. I led the full-stack development end to end, handling client communication directly, mentoring two junior developers, and engineering the core pricing logic that made the platform viable. --- ## The Engineering Challenge The hardest part wasn't the code, it was cracking the **actual cost formulas** behind print products. Print pricing involves complex variables like paper size, ink coverage, material cost, and quantity tiers. Getting these calculations accurate was critical for the business to function correctly. --- ## My Role - **Client Communication**. Worked directly with the client throughout the project, translating business requirements into technical solutions - **Team Leadership**, Mentored two junior developers, reviewing code and guiding implementation decisions - **Pricing Formula Engineering**, Researched and cracked the real-world cost formulas behind print product pricing, ensuring accurate and profitable calculations - **Full-Stack Development**, Built the entire platform from scratch using Angular, Java Spring Boot, and MySQL --- ## What I Built - **Product Pricing Engine**, Custom formula-based cost calculator handling complex print variables - **Automated Workflows**, Streamlined order processing replacing manual print operations - **Angular Frontend**, Clean, responsive UI for browsing, configuring, and ordering print products - **Spring Boot Backend**, Robust REST APIs handling orders, products, and pricing logic - **MySQL Database**, Structured data layer managing products, orders, and user accounts --- ## Tech Stack Built with **Angular**, **Java Spring Boot**, and **MySQL**, serving 5,000+ users in production.

Project #6

## Overview BioSonic is a bat-acoustic research platform used by **5,000+ scientists** worldwide. I worked as a shadow developer building the platform end to end, shipping production-grade infrastructure handling data at a scale most platforms never encounter. --- ## The Engineering Challenge The core problem was scale. Bat acoustic research generates data in the **millions of records**, so large that even Supabase's newly launched analytics bucket couldn't handle it at the time. Custom solutions were engineered from scratch to ingest, store, process, and display this data reliably on the web. --- ## What I Built - **Browser-Based Batch Upload System**, Processed millions of files in a single session using the WHATWG File System API, with no Electron dependency - **1,000-File Batch Processing**, Chunked upload architecture for fault-tolerant large-scale data handling - **Custom RPC Functions**, Built Supabase RPC calls for large data aggregations and complex data handling that standard queries couldn't efficiently support - **Custom SQL Layer**, Highly optimized queries on Supabase and PostgreSQL handling millions of records where off-the-shelf solutions fell short - **Web Data Visualization**, Rendered massive datasets in the browser without performance degradation - **Real-Time Processing**, Audio files processed and surfaced to researchers as they arrive --- ## The Scale Problem When Supabase launched their analytics bucket, our dataset was already beyond what it could handle. The solution required custom RPC functions, query optimization, batching strategies, and architecture decisions built specifically for this level of scale. --- ## Tech Stack Built with **React**, **TypeScript**, **Supabase**, **custom SQL**, and **Supabase RPC**, deployed for production use by thousands of active researchers globally.
