About

I’m an MSCS candidate at San Jose State University (Graduating 2027) with professional experience building scalable fintech systems that process $200M+ daily transactions and support millions of users. I’m now looking to apply these skills in Summer 2026 Software Engineering Internships. What I’ve Built •Recurring Payments Platform → engineered distributed services managing $8B+ in active contracts, processing $200M+ daily. •Vault → implemented a secure configuration manager handling 100K+ requests/min across 80+ payment flows. •One-Click Checkout: optimized checkout, reducing P90 payment journey time by 28% for 3M+ DAUs and boosting payment conversions by 4% for Navi's largest business by scale. •Transaction Reconciliation Engine: Developed a financial reconciliation system processing 1.2M+ daily transactions, saving $250K annually. My Passion I’m motivated by turning complex distributed systems into simple, reliable user experiences, and I’m eager to keep learning by contributing as an intern in Summer 2026. Tech Stack Java, Kotlin, Scala, Python | Spring Boot, Kafka, Redis | AWS, Kubernetes, Docker | PostgreSQL, DynamoDB
