About

Software Engineer and Master’s student in Software Engineering at San Jose State University with 2+ years of industry experience building scalable, distributed systems and cloud-native applications. Previously worked as a Software Development Engineer at Zivame and most recently as a Software Engineer Intern on AWS Lambda, where I designed event-driven systems and reliability solutions that reduced operational incidents. My experience spans micro services, Kafka-based architectures, backend APIs, and production deployments on AWS and GCP. Alongside systems engineering, I actively work on AI-powered applications — including building agentic platforms using transformer-based NLP, RAG pipelines, and developing tools that integrate LLMs into real-world workflows. I enjoy solving system-level problems and building products that create measurable impact — from improving platform performance and reducing customer bugs to designing fault-tolerant distributed pipelines. Technically, I work across Java, Go, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Kafka, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure, with a strong interest in distributed systems, backend engineering, and platform reliability. Currently seeking Software Engineering opportunities (Backend / Distributed Systems / Platform) where I can contribute to building robust, high-scale systems while continuing to learn from strong engineering teams.
