Work Experience

QueryQode CRM — Founder & Full-Stack Developer queryqode.com/crm
Berkeley, CA  |  – Present
  • Architected and shipped a SPA-based multi-tenant CRM for education consultancies (PHP, JavaScript, MySQL), serving 5 offices, 54 users, and 323 sub-agents with 11,200 leads and 13,779 enrolled students managed in production.
  • Implemented async API operations for CRUD/status changes, cutting actions from ~2-4s to ~300-600ms via preloaded reference data and SQL indexing/query optimization.
  • Designed an audit logging system capturing before/after diffs, user identity, timestamp, and operation type — eliminating data loss risk from user errors and providing a complete change history for compliance and debugging.
  • Designed a three-tier RBAC system (admin/employee/sub-agent) with per-user operation-level permissions, scoped data visibility, and financial data isolation from sub-agents — supporting both full CRM users and a read-only partner portal via unique secure links.
  • Built a per-sub-agent lead capture system with unique landing pages, UTM parameter tracking (source, campaign, medium, term), customizable auto-reply emails, and automatic commission attribution on application financials.
Small Business Virtual Incubator (San Diego Mesa College) — Full-Stack Developer

  • Built a reusable Bootstrap + PHP/JS CMS supporting SEO fields, form submissions, brand/color controls, navigation CRUD, and WYSIWYG/HTML custom pages — deployed across 9 client sites.
  • Managed full-cycle client engagements — discovery through build to 12-month post-launch support — delivering 9 production sites averaging ~30 hours from requirements to launch.
UC Berkeley — CS169A Software Engineering — Tutor / Course Staff
Berkeley, CA  |  Summer 2025, Fall 2025

New Style Technology — Web Developer
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia  |  –
  • Integrated a SQL Server-based ERP accounting system with Shopify and OpenCart, automating invoice entry for hundreds of daily transactions and eliminating ~1 min/invoice of manual data entry.
  • Built a custom ticketing + attendance system with automated certificate issuance from verified check-ins, cutting post-event fulfillment from hours to minutes.
  • Automated post-event attendee processing, reducing throughput from ~30-45s/entry to ~5s/entry and cutting staffing needs from 3-4 employees to 1 monitor.

Projects

Flextensions — Software Engineer (Team Project) flextensions.berkeley.edu
UC Berkeley  |  –
  • Built the core student-facing request workflow for a UC Berkeley extensions platform (Canvas API + Gradescope) — Forms MVC, alerts, email notifications, and responsive data tables — enabling students to submit and track extension requests in a unified interface.
  • Reduced review time from ~30-45s/request to ~2-5s/request by improving the approval UI flow and TA/instructor tooling.
