Optic Power

Shipping across gaming, SaaS, and product engineering work

At Optic Power, I worked as a senior full stack engineer across several products at once. The throughline was consistent: build dependable software for teams that needed product momentum, technical depth, and steady delivery in a fully remote environment.

⚠️ Core challenge

The hard part was not just writing code across several stacks. It was keeping quality and momentum intact while context-switching between client products with different business models, technical constraints, and delivery expectations. The work had to stay adaptable without becoming fragmented.

🎯 What I owned

• End-to-end product engineering across architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and monitoring for multiple clients in parallel.
• Frontend and backend delivery spanning React.js, Next.js, Node.js, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, and React Native.
• Performance and maintainability work around APIs, query bottlenecks, UI modularization, and state management.
• Cross-functional collaboration with product, design, and distributed engineering teams shipping in agile sprints.

📈 Key outcomes

• 40% better API performance after refactoring bottlenecks and improving database-query efficiency.
• Faster front-end experiences through lazy loading, modularization, and cleaner state normalization.
• Multiple production launches in parallel without losing sight of testing, reliability, or developer experience.

💡 Project spotlight

• Team Liquid: contributed to fan rewards and engagement systems tied to streams, events, and social activity, including YouTube and Twitch-related integrations.
• NurtureBoss: worked on automated communication flows, third-party integrations, and the infrastructure behind email and SMS delivery.
• Stardust.gg: helped build an OAuth-focused React component library and onboarding flows for gaming and Web3 products.

🛠️ Tech stack

• Frontend: React.js, Next.js, Redux, Redux Toolkit, Redux Sagas, Styled Components, TailwindCSS
• Backend and data: Node.js, Express.js, GraphQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Elixir, Phoenix
• Mobile and delivery: React Native, Docker, AWS, GCP, CI/CD, Jest, Vitest, Sentry

🤝 Why it mattered

Optic Power sharpened my full-stack range. It pushed me to move comfortably between front-end polish, backend performance, third-party integrations, and architecture while staying grounded in what each product actually needed.
