Software Developer

All & Sundry | Feb 2026 – Present

• Shipping production React and TypeScript Airtable extensions used by 5,000+ product and project managers.
• Cut initial payloads from 5.4 MB to about 300 KB on the largest tables with idle-deferred queries and detail-on-open loads.
• Built a governance platform in Next.js on Vercel, deployed per enterprise client with its own Airtable base and secured by OIDC and Airtable OAuth 2.0.
• Added a Claude-powered AI chat backed by Redis: expiring chat history, per-persona rate limits, an answer cache that skips repeat model calls, and a lock on the webhook sync job.

• Developing enterprise-scale custom Airtable extensions in React and TypeScript, serving 5,000+ PMs and business partners across the organization.
• Building a per-client governance app that pairs each enterprise client with its own Airtable base to manage their datasets, components, applications, and resources, connected through Airtable OAuth.
• Keeping large bases fast inside extensions with field-scoped queries and deferred table loads, cutting initial payloads from megabytes to a few hundred kilobytes.
• Designing interfaces in Figma and shipping them as production React UI for product and project management teams.

Junior Database Developer

Claribase | May 2023 – Dec 2024

• Built custom extensions and backend features using Airtable's JavaScript environment and React-based Blocks SDK.
• Designed scalable relational schemas and improved performance by optimizing data access patterns.
• Integrated Airtable with external systems via REST APIs, webhooks, and automation platforms, and wrote data migration scripts to move client datasets from spreadsheets and legacy databases.

• Designed and built client Airtable bases end-to-end across multiple industries — schema and linked-record architecture, views, and Interface dashboards.
• Replaced manual client workflows with Airtable Automations and custom scripting, and connected bases to external tools through Zapier/Make, APIs, and webhooks.
• Built custom extensions with the Blocks SDK where native Airtable features fell short.
