Projects

SubSearch

Live GitHub

Node.js / TypeScript, FastAPI, ChromaDB, sentence-transformers, Docker

Built a full semantic search pipeline over Reddit — scrape → embed → store → query — with zero keyword matching; each post is embedded via a self-hosted all-MiniLM-L6-v2 sidecar and stored in ChromaDB
Wrote the embedding service from scratch as a FastAPI microservice in its own Docker container; Express backend calls it over HTTP, keeping the ML runtime fully isolated from the API layer
Queries are embedded at request time and ranked by cosine similarity inside ChromaDB

Auction Engine

TypeScript, Node.js, Redis

Real-time bidding and order matching platform using Redis for atomic concurrency — handles simultaneous bids without race conditions
Planned migration to Go to explore channels, goroutines, and locking primitives at the systems level
