Miira AI
Software Engineer
Canberra, ACT
- As sole engineer, architected a real-time recommendation system using Django, PostgreSQL, and Redis, implementing a multi-tier caching strategy that reduced API response times from 500ms to 50–100ms and achieved 90–95% cache hit rates in load testing.
- Built a Shopify embedded app with Remix, PostgreSQL (Prisma), and React (Polaris), implementing event sourcing for analytics, session management with identity merging, and webhook-based order attribution serving recommendations via API proxy.
- Engineered a zero-dependency storefront widget using TypeScript and ESBuild, delivering gesture-based product discovery with under 300ms interaction latency, integrated with a machine learning recommendation service for personalized shopping experiences.
- Developed a FastAPI microservice to automatically extract 500+ fashion attributes from product images, with direct PostgreSQL integration generating one-hot encoded features that improved recommendation system query performance by 10x.
