About

Raed Ibrahim Albloushy
I'm a full-stack engineer with 5+ years of experience, currently a Software Engineer III at GlobalVetLink, where I lead a 5-engineer squad and mentor other engineers. I care about shipping reliable software end-to-end — from data modeling to the interfaces people actually use.
B.S. in Computer Engineering from Iowa State University (2020) and an MBA with an IT focus from Humphreys University (2025). Outside of work I hike, tinker with side projects (Android/Kotlin, automation tooling), and keep sharpening algorithms.
  • Architected an OpenSearch integration replacing legacy database-driven search, from the React UI to the indexing microservice
  • Eliminated a flagged SOC2 audit risk with a PCI-compliant Zuora ACH payment integration
  • Preserved a mission-critical certificate integration serving ~5,000 weekly users by reverse-engineering a government portal's auth flow
  • Drove TypeScript adoption from 1.5% to 50% codebase coverage over 18 months
  • Helped drive the initiative that raised release cadence from 2x/week to daily deployments, cutting median PR merge time from 3-4 days to under 48 hours
  • Adopted FusionAuth and helped plan a JIT migration path for legacy users, modernizing auth and making it easy to interoperate with external identity providers without managing that integration in-house

Projects

ScanBid

Private experiment in AI-integrated auction tooling — pulls product descriptions from external sources via AI. Built mainly to explore Next.js 14 and production AI integration patterns, not a polished product.
  • AI-assisted data enrichment pipeline, not just a CRUD app
  • A sandbox for testing Next.js 14 patterns before using them at work
Next.js 14PrismaPostgreSQLAI APIs

AiAnalyze

Android app (published as "Briefly") using Gemini to summarize articles and links into searchable snippets.
  • Live on Google Play, not just a portfolio demo
  • Screen-capture summarization via on-device OCR (ML Kit), not just link sharing
50+ installs

This site

This portfolio itself — rebuilt from a stale Create React App/antd v4 site into Next.js 16 (App Router, SSR) with TypeScript and Ant Design v6.
  • Built with an AI coding agent end-to-end: stack migration, content, and infra
  • Domain (Cloudflare) and hosting (Vercel) connected entirely via CLI, including Cloudflare's brand-new agentic `cf` CLI
  • Play Store install counts fetched server-side and cached with ISR — updates automatically, no redeploy needed
Next.jsTypeScriptAnt Design v6

AyaBelQuran

Wear OS app to pull a Quran verse with audio on your wrist. Open source.
  • 1,000+ installs, fully open source

inkcal

E-ink calendar display: a Next.js backend paired with custom ESP32 firmware driving the physical display.
  • A full-stack engineer's take on embedded systems — same Next.js skills, applied to real hardware
  • Flashed and debugged over serial with the Arduino CLI, deployed the backend with Vercel
  • Drives a real e-ink display, not a simulator
Next.jsTypeScriptC++/ESP32

TsLens

VS Code extension that tracks a workspace's TypeScript adoption progress and flags JS files worth refactoring.
  • Published VS Code Marketplace extension, not just a script
  • Built to solve a real problem from his own TypeScript migration at work
