Jae builds secure, scalable end-to-end systems, with strengths in React and TypeScript front ends, Flask-based backend services, database design, authentication, REST APIs, concurrent programming, and machine-learning applications. At The Preloved Professional, Jae built an idempotent Stripe checkout pipeline that eliminated double charges, introduced custom caching that cut redundant network requests by 41%, and shipped infinite scroll that reduced initial payload by 25%. As a research assistant at Vassar College, Jae designed ParV2, a Go concurrency abstraction using reflection to run arbitrary functions in parallel with runtime safety, and developed a CSP/Occam-inspired PAR composition operator. Jae also built SecureBank AI, combining a fine-tuned DistilBERT transaction-categorization model with a hybrid RAG assistant using MiniLM and Gemini 2.0 Flash for natural-language financial queries. Jae holds a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from Vassar College, completed in 2025. ## Services - SQLAlchemy - REST API Design - Database Design - JWT Authentication - Software Engineer - React.ts - Auth0 - Redux Toolkit - React Query - Product Demonstration - Assistant Teaching - Java - Research & Prototyping - Concurrent Programming - Parallel Programming - FastAPI - PostgreSQL - TypeScript - OpenAI API - REST APIs - Leaflet - JavaScript - Cascading Style Sheets \(CSS\) - HTML - Flask - Full-Stack Development - Teamwork - Problem Solving - Python \(Programming Language\) - Large Language Models \(LLM\) ## Highlights - Built an idempotent Stripe checkout pipeline at The Preloved Professional that eliminated double charges. - Cut redundant network requests by 41% at The Preloved Professional through custom caching. - Shipped infinite scroll at The Preloved Professional, reducing initial payload by 25%. - Built SecureBank AI with a fine-tuned DistilBERT model for transaction categorization. - Paired SecureBank AI with a hybrid RAG assistant using MiniLM and Gemini 2.0 Flash for natural-language financial queries. - Designed and implemented ParV2, a Go concurrency abstraction using reflection to run arbitrary functions in parallel with runtime safety. - Delivered a CSP/Occam-inspired PAR composition operator for more expressive, less error-prone concurrent programming in Go. - Built a concurrent sorting pipeline and replicator utility to demonstrate practical ParV2 applications. - Built an e-commerce web application with React, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, and Auth0, including secure login and personalized cart functionality across sessions. - Developed Flask and SQLAlchemy backend services connected to MySQL, supporting CRUD operations and structured database design. - Designed a Flask, Marshmallow, and PostgreSQL service-management backend with JWT authentication, role-based access control, and RESTful APIs for mechanics, inventory, and service tickets. - Deployed applications using Vercel and Render. - Maintained GitHub workflows using branches, commits, and pull requests to simulate CI/CD pipelines. - Practiced agile development and version control while contributing to scalable, production-ready codebases in a remote training environment. - Earned a bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from Vassar College in 2025. - Is pursuing an MS in Artificial Intelligence at Northeastern University, expected in 2028. - Holds Coding Temple certifications in Python Foundations for Software Engineering, Web Development with JavaScript & Frameworks, and Web Development with HTML & CSS. - Holds the CSA GenAI Star Perfomer Badge from GenSpark CSA. ## Experience - **Software Engineer Apprentice at Coding Temple** (2025-06-01–2026-02-01) — \- Built an e-commerce web app using React \(TypeScript\), Redux Toolkit, and Auth0, enabling secure login and personalized cart functionality across sessions. - Developed backend services with Flask and SQLAlchemy, connected to MySQL, supporting complete CRUD operations and structured database design. - Designed and implemented a service management backend system using Flask, Marshmallow, and PostgreSQL, featuring JWT authentication, role-based access control, and RESTful APIs for mechanics, inventory, and service tickets. - Deployed both applications using Vercel and Render, maintaining GitHub workflows with branches, commits, and pull requests to simulate CI/CD pipelines. - Practiced agile development and version control, contributing to scalable, production-ready codebases in a remote training environment. - **Research Assistant at Vassar College** (2024-08-01–2025-05-01) — \- Designed and implemented ParV2, a concurrency abstraction in Go that leverages reflection to run arbitrary functions in parallel with runtime safety. - Delivered a PAR composition operator inspired by CSP/Occam, laying the groundwork for more expressive and less error-prone concurrent programming in Go. - Built a concurrent sorting pipeline and a replicator utility to demonstrate practical applications of ParV2 in real-world scenarios. - **Computer Science Coach at Vassar College** (2022-08-01–2024-09-01) - **Transportation Intern at Vassar College** (2022-05-01–2022-06-01) - **Lifeguard at Schuyler Meadows Club Inc** (2021-05-01–2022-08-01) ## Education - Master of Science, Artificial Intelligence — Northeastern University (2026-09-01–2028-04-01) - Bachelor's degree, Mathematics and Computer Science — Vassar College (2021-08-01–2025-05-01) ## FAQ ### What does Jae do?
