About

Anchoring my career with a strong educational foundation, I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science from Stony Brook University, where I also embraced roles as a Research Assistant and Teaching Assistant, focusing on Distributed Systems. My recent tenure at Amazon Web Services honed my technical acumen, collaborating on resilient, high-performance systems. At Microsoft, we leveraged cutting-edge technologies like Microsoft Bot Framework and Angular. I'm eager to contribute to pioneering solutions that embody my commitment to building innovative and robust systems, and I'm continually fueled by the challenge of enhancing system reliability and efficiency.
