Software Engineer
Sep 2025 — May 2026Protesyn · Molecular-design startup
Protesyn was building an end-to-end workspace for AI-assisted molecular design. Researchers could set a design goal in chat, run scientific models, inspect candidates and their evidence, view molecular artefacts in 3D, and save proteins or peptides with their provenance.
- Built the workflow between Studio, the Next.js product, and Origami, the scientific execution service. Design requests were validated, converted into recoverable jobs, routed to pinned model runtimes on Modal, and returned as structured results.
- Integrated OpenAI tool-calling with model runs while preserving streamed assistant turns, progress, partial results, cancellation, and recovery from interrupted jobs.
- Built Mol* inspection and the unified molecular Library for proteins and peptides, keeping native structures, visualisation files, confidence data, chemistry, evidence, and provenance as distinct assets.
- Added Vitest, Playwright, GitHub Actions, structured logging, and Sentry across chat and generation flows, maintaining more than 90% test coverage.
- Built an internal Next.js and Tiptap CMS for drafting and publishing content to the public site.
