About

I am a Software Developer with a Master’s in Computer Science from the University of Colorado Boulder and over 4 years of professional experience in building scalable, resilient, and low-latency systems. Currently, I work at Arista Networks as part of the Sand team, specifically the LeanFA team. My role involves developing a framework that automates the generation of C++ code, boilerplate, and hardware interfacing code from a basic Tau file (similar to XML). This framework significantly reduces maintenance overhead for teams, enabling faster and more efficient development of networking solutions. During my Master’s, I completed coursework in Natural Language Processing, Datacenter Scale Computing, Machine Learning, and Quantum Computing. The comprehensive curriculum allowed me to explore a broad range of topics while delving deeply into advanced computational techniques, equipping me with the expertise to address complex technical challenges and contribute meaningfully to innovative projects in both academic and professional domains. Additionally, I served as a Teaching Assistant for the Data Structures course, where I refined my ability to communicate complex technical concepts effectively. In my previous work experience with Oracle, I designed systems to detect security flaws in cloud infrastructure. I collaborated with ML engineers to create workflows that managed data, models, and pipelined the outputs to relevant stakeholders. At Amazon, I developed product-focused solutions for Amazon Pay and Amazon Shipping, contributing to scalable and efficient systems that supported critical business operations. I am skilled in data structures and algorithms, object-oriented programming (OOP), design patterns, databases (SQL and NoSQL), and open-source systems, with a passion for delivering impactful, efficient, and innovative solutions.
