Channel Core · Irvine, California

Integrating 6 social platforms (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, Snapchat, X) via OAuth with automatic token refresh and credential rotation, syncing 500+ creator records daily with 0 data loss.

Architecting separate dev/prod environments on Neon with automated S3 backups and branch protection — serving 150+ creators with zero risk of dev changes affecting live users.

Built a video-level analytics pipeline using YouTube Data API v3 + Analytics API v2, modelled with a Drizzle ORM schema. Debugged a Neon HTTP driver vs. standard Postgres discrepancy in .returning() behavior that silently dropped insert results.

Worked around LinkedIn OAuth's r_dma_portability_3rd_party scope being EEA-only — restructured the token exchange flow so non-EEA users don't hit a silent auth failure.

bro-cli

Personal — systems tooling

A CLI tool built around an emit-and-eval pattern for shell-stateful commands — the shell emits a command string, the CLI evaluates and reacts to it, rather than trying to mutate shell state directly. Flat-file TOML backend; subcommands via clap.
