PoolRM — internal staffing-intelligence platform
Lead senior engineer on PoolRM, an internal firm-initiative platform that matches open project staffing needs to consultant availability and skills, replacing a slow manual process. Built AI-first with Claude Code from day one: senior designers build the frontend AI-assisted while a principal engineer owns business requirements and I lead the backend and the AI-development workflow. Designed a NestJS API on AWS Fargate behind an Application Load Balancer with an RDS PostgreSQL database, provisioned via AWS CDK (ECR, S3, CloudFront), using Prisma, Zod, and TanStack Query across an npm-workspaces monorepo. Authored a cross-compatible Claude Code + GitHub Copilot context system so AI coding quality and developer experience stay uniform across machines, sessions, and tools, and introduced PRD-driven development influenced by BMAD with a custom implementation. Roughly 300 weekly users; improved data integrity in charge-code-to-project mapping.
