Founder & Engineer
- →Currently building PiqJob, a new startup venture currently in the early development phase.
- →Architecting the platform infrastructure, defining the core product vision, and preparing for initial launch.
PiqJob Chrome Extension
AI-powered Chrome extension that passively detects job listings and auto-extracts structured data — no clicks, no copy-paste.
- ▸4-tier extraction engine: meta tags → JSON-LD → DOM selectors → LLM fallback, achieving reliable extraction across all major job boards
- ▸Signal-based page detection using URL patterns, meta tags, and DOM markers — zero user interaction required
- ▸Claude API backend proxy via Supabase Edge Functions for secure, cost-optimized LLM calls ($0.002/extraction avg)
- ▸Manifest V3 architecture with service workers, content scripts, and cross-context messaging
- ▸Auto-saves extracted jobs to Supabase with deduplication and user-scoped storage
- ▸Supports 50+ ATS platforms including Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and iCIMS
Built BabyJay, an AI-powered campus assistant serving 9,500+ knowledge documents with 82.4% user approval rate.
