About this role

ChargeSmart Insight is a platform I co-founded alongside two non-technical partners. We process real-time EV charging data to help companies make smarter decisions about where to place charging stations, a problem that directly impacts EV adoption.

We built this profitably with zero external funding. I re-architected the entire infrastructure to a serverless AWS stack, cutting cloud spend by 70% (from $700 to $100/month). I built data pipelines that now ingest 11 million records daily, cutting processing time to minutes.

I also refactored the entire codebase to be country-agnostic, enabling smooth multi-market expansion. A strategic decision that opened up new revenue opportunities without significant engineering overhead.
