Saamir Hye, full-stack engineer.

Sole engineer on a legal research platform for law firms, from ticket to release.

• Built document descriptions and automatic subject tagging on Amazon Bedrock, with a semantic search layer on OpenSearch and a cost cap on each request.
• Cut app start-up from over two minutes to about 1.6 seconds by profiling the client and backend and fixing five separate causes.
• Replaced a manual build, signing, upload and cache invalidation routine with a Bitbucket Pipelines release for macOS and Windows, and built the in-app updater that delivers each release to users.
• Add unit and end-to-end tests with each change, using Jasmine, Jest and Playwright.
• Reviewed the backend for security gaps and closed the authorisation gaps found.
• Added error tracking, dashboards and alerts with Sentry and CloudWatch, including reporting for upload and session failures that had gone unseen.
