I'm a Magna Cum Laude Computer Science graduate from Systems Plus College Foundation and currently an R&D Software Engineer at Converge ICT Solutions Inc.
My work focuses on building backend systems, data ingestion pipelines, analytics APIs, automation workflows, and internal network operations tools for telecommunications environments.
I work across telecom/network domains such as:
BRAS · CGNAT · OLT · LCP · NAP · ONU/ONT · Ookla/ODL · Downdetector · ReportDB Alarms · Inventory Synchronization
My strongest engineering areas are:
- Backend API development with Django REST Framework
- Data ingestion and automation using Python, pandas, Bash, Linux cron
- Database design and analytics using PostgreSQL, MySQL, raw SQL, JSONB
- Async/background processing using Redis and Celery
- Log/data streaming with Kafka, Flink, Kafka Connect, Filebeat
- Production-style reliability controls such as RBAC, idempotency, advisory locks, tracker tables, audit logs, retries, and dry-runs
- Cybersecurity learning focused on log analysis, security fundamentals, SOC workflows, and secure backend practices
June 2025 – Present
Building backend systems, analytics APIs, data pipelines, and internal network operations tools for telecom monitoring and automation.
Key areas of work:
- Developed Django REST Framework APIs and backend services using PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, Linux cron, Bash automation, OpenAPI documentation, Postman workflows, RBAC, idempotency controls, advisory locks, tracker tables, and automated tests.
- Worked on BRAS CGNAT logging with Filebeat, Kafka, Flink, Kafka Connect, MinIO/S3, Parquet, and Snappy for end-to-end log streaming and structured storage.
- Built network-health and OLT latency monitoring APIs using MySQL ReportDB alarms, PostgreSQL topology enrichment, WebSockets, keyset pagination, rotating cache behavior, and Celery snapshots.
- Developed Speedtest/ODL and Port Utilization analytics, including peak-hour comparisons, statistical metrics, Huawei/ZTE/Nokia ZIP/CSV ingestion, retry handling, and current/historical APIs.
- Worked on Ookla Data Lake, Downdetector, Datalake Export, LCP ONU Testing, and IM Dump workflows involving high-volume ingestion, async SSH/SFTP exports, workflow automation, evidence uploads, SLA tracking, and inventory synchronization.
Public-safe note: My Converge work involves internal systems, so project details are summarized without exposing private infrastructure, credentials, internal URLs, customer data, or confidential network information.
September 2022 – May 2025
Worked as a full-stack developer on school and partner-organization systems while completing my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.
Key areas of work:
