Work Experience

Senior Software Engineer | Compass | New York, NY | Apr 2023 – Present

Spearheaded cross-functional development efforts with 8 engineers distributed across 4 global time zones to create scalable lead generation verticals, seamlessly integrating 100+ real-estate data sources into Compass' core CRM infrastructure and its downstream ML recommendation systems serving 30,000+ agents.
Designed and shipped the MCP-compliant contact orchestration layer powering Compass' CRM agent integrations, replacing ad-hoc per-vendor integrations with a single contract that handles creation, verification, and agent-matching for millions of contacts and feeds Likely-to-Win scoring downstream.
Built the event-driven data pipelines and Databricks feature flows powering Compass' Likely-to-Win recommendation model, a personalized system combining property sale probability with agent win probability, driving a 39% increase in outreach on new recommendations and 16% on re-ranked existing ones (A/B tested), expanding into orphan matching, agent referrals, and seller-side lead routing.
Powered over $2M in quarterly GCI (Gross Commission Income), directly funding product, data, and engineering initiatives; contributing to Compass securing the #1 US brokerage ranking (RealTrends, 2022–2025) by closed sales volume.

Technologies: TypeScript, Node.js, Go, Kafka, PostgreSQL, React, Databricks, MCP, Datadog, Kubernetes, AWS

Software Engineer II | Compass | New York, NY | Jul 2021 – Mar 2023

Engineered the Compass Leads Program, an intelligent and fair routing mechanism for the company's critical revenue-generating leads funnel, ensuring rapid and optimal matching of clients to real estate agents and OriginPoint mortgage origination and directly contributing to a multi-digit percentage increase in commissions revenue.
Built the ingestion pipelines and underlying database that captured agent-property geo-matching signals, homeowner relationship strength, communication recency, and historical performance metrics; powering Compass' Likely-to-Sell ML recommendation model which contributed over $150MM per year in incremental revenue since 2021.

Technologies: TypeScript, Node.js, Go, gRPC, PostgreSQL, React, Datadog, Kubernetes, AWS

Web Developer | WebMD | New York, NY | Sep 2019 – Jun 2021

Co-founded and developed WebMD's Helios platform, an enterprise framework on Vue.js, Node.js, NGINX, Docker, Kubernetes, GitLab CI, and the ELK stack for centralized observability.
Led migration of 95% of legacy consumer frontend and backend services to Helios, paired with Cloudflare CDN rollout and Prometheus, Grafana, and PageSpeed Insights monitoring, driving measurable gains in SEO, Core Web Vitals, and ad revenue.

Technologies: Vue.js, Node.js, TypeScript, Docker, Kubernetes, NGINX, Cloudflare CDN, Prometheus, Grafana, GitLab CI

Associate Web Developer | WebMD | New York, NY | Jun 2017 – Aug 2019

Sole developer and maintainer of WebMD's Healthcare AI Assistant on Google Assistant and Alexa, using conversational AI and NLU to answer 72% of healthcare voice queries about symptoms, medications, and treatment guidance for millions of users.
Independently proposed and built a backward-compatible testing framework that reduced WebMD's full test runtime from 14 hours to 1 hour by running Omniture analytics tests asynchronously across self-configured Selenium slaves.
Developed the Mucinex-sponsored health chatbot that generated a multi-million dollar revenue stream via a $2 CPC advertising model, serving thousands of daily health queries.

Technologies: Node.js, TypeScript, Google Dialogflow, Alexa Skills Kit, WebdriverIO, Selenium, Chrome DevTools Protocol, Jenkins, Adobe Analytics (Omniture)

Backend Web Developer | New Jersey Institute of Technology | Newark, NJ | Jan 2018 – May 2018

Contributed bug fixes and performance improvements to a P2P assignment-and-grading platform serving NJIT's CS cohort, working across the ExpressJS API layer, MySQL schema, Redis caching, and NGINX deployment.
Reduced response times on hot endpoints by 90% by introducing a Redis caching layer and an archival strategy that moved completed-semester data out of the live query path.
Instrumented the service with ElasticSearch, Fluentd, and Kibana structured logging, replacing scattered per-service log files with a queryable centralized stack.

smithmark, Agent Tool Provenance (Go) | Jul 2026 | github.com/sns45/smithmark

Signed capability attestations for MCP servers and skills. Extracts an artifact's real surface (tools, network egress, filesystem, exec, secrets) into a schema-validated manifest, wraps it as a portable in-toto DSSE predicate, and signs it keyless (Sigstore, Fulcio + Rekor). Composes npm provenance, SLSA, and CycloneDX rather than minting a new trust root, and feeds an explainable report to the assayward gate. The portfolio's MCP servers ship it on every release, verified end to end with cosign including Rekor inclusion; ships two upstream standards drafts (Ecma TC54, MCP registry).

Embeds a full Neovim-based IDE (go:embed'd tickettok.nvim plugin) for reviewing agent code changes inline over the editor MCP protocol, with accept/reject diffs and inline comments delivered back to the agent; distributed via a Homebrew tap and GoReleaser.
