Experience

Tech Lead · mymeet.ai

Aug 2025 – present

AI meeting assistants (transcription and call-assistant product). Node.js / NestJS, TypeScript, Python, Kubernetes, AI/LLM.

  • Tech Lead on an AI meeting-assistant product at scale: 300K+ registered users, 30K monthly active, around 2,000 meetings transcribed per day.
  • Led extraction of a problematic calendar-sync service from a large monolith into a standalone Kubernetes microservice, owning the core work and delegating secondary tasks across the team.
  • Drove a roughly 10x performance gain through a deep business-logic refactor and improved fault isolation. The client complaint stream stopped, with no bug reports for several sprints.
  • Built the meeting bots that join calls: browser automation (Puppeteer/Playwright, anti-bot hardening) and the native Zoom Linux SDK, with ffmpeg media pipelines for recordings.
  • Built production Python services for the LLM features (integrations, service logic, Redis-backed state) running under real user load.
  • Cut Docker build time and bot-container image size by about 7x with multi-stage builds and layer caching, speeding up CI pipelines.
  • Embedded AI into the daily engineering workflow: AI pre-review on pull requests, refactoring assistants, and an internal knowledge-base and log-analysis bot.
  • Run a CI/CD delivery rhythm where two to three small fixes reach production every day and larger releases ship once per sprint.
