• Built streaming WebM demuxing and muxing in Rust: decoded Opus frames to PCM for real-time voice synthesis, reaching sub-second time-to-first-audio in production.
• Integrated Google Chirp 3 streaming speech-to-text over gRPC (tonic/prost) and refactored the STT router to stream raw Opus/WebM bytes to Chirp and OpenAI handlers.
• Built an evidence-based resume analysis pipeline (claim extraction → Gemini with Search grounding → evidence mapping) and moved scores and outcomes from the LLM into deterministic Rust.
• Designed UUIDv8 region encoding for multi-region data: PostgreSQL triggers embed a region byte in new keys, decoded by a Rust RegionCache before any database call.
• Built an S3-backed, multi-region AWS Polly speech cache so static interview prompts skip re-synthesis, removing live-interview lag.
• Added Prometheus metrics and Altcha proof-of-work bot protection to the API, and fixed a Neo4j connection-pool leak.
• Migrated ~30 SvelteKit pages to a type-safe client generated from the Rust OpenAPI spec, and shipped i18n in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Thai.
• Wrote Inspector, a Rust CLI that validates multi-stage backend pipelines and generates multi-sheet Excel reports.
