JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle)
Senior Software Engineer
Jun 2022 — Present

Leading frontend architecture and AI systems engineering for Azara AI — JLL's enterprise conversational analytics platform.

Conversational AI & Agent Systems
  • Architected the conversational UI layer for Azara AI — a chat-driven analytics assistant rendering AI-generated markdown, dynamic tables, and Highcharts visualizations from real-time streaming responses.
  • Designed a LangGraph-powered multi-agent pipeline on Databricks Genie — coordinating agents for rephrasing, visualization selection, and reasoning, with shared state, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and resumable execution for production reliability.
  • Built the streaming UI layer (Vercel AI SDK) using token-level streaming and optimistic UI patterns — reducing perceived latency and making responses feel conversational, not batch-processed.
Platform Engineering & Developer Tooling
  • Built an internal MFE CLI tool to bootstrap apps with pre-configured best practices (Jest, ESLint, CodeClimate, commit-lint) — cutting team onboarding time by 80% across 10+ teams.
  • Owned delivery of three core MFE modules (MyAnalytics, Dashboard Configuration, Subscribe to Dashboard) via Webpack Module Federation — serving 500+ enterprise users.
  • Delivered full-stack features across React + TypeScript, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Redis, and GraphQL — owning UI to API, data modeling, and performance optimization.
Performance, DevOps & Engineering Culture
  • Migrated 25+ GitHub repos to modern CI/CD pipelines with automated release notes and semantic versioning — reducing release overhead by 30%.
  • Resolved LCP regression (10s → 5s) via render profiling, code-split redesign, and API waterfall elimination.
  • Mentored junior engineers via PR reviews and guild sessions on performance, MFE governance, and AI-integrated UI — influencing platform standards beyond team scope.
