Review

Add geospatial index on mover.location — cuts match query from 240ms to 18ms.

//About me

I build things end to end, and contribute on every layer.

Over 5+ years across fintech, NGO tech, and product startups, with a consistent focus on systems that are fast, maintainable, and built to scale. At IRPay I designed payment infrastructure handling high-throughput operations; today I lead engineering on a Canadian SaaS marketplace where there's no part of the product I don't touch.

I care about clean architecture, developer experience, and shipping things that actually work.

//What I do

One engineer. Every layer of the stack.

Full-stack development

Build frontend and backend seamlessly — from React/TypeScript components to Laravel APIs and the database queries beneath them.

p  const products = await db.product.findMany({
p    orderBy: { createdAt: 'desc' },
