About

Currently working at D.E. Shaw & Co. as a Member Tech Ops, where I spend my days writing Python code, managing CI/CD pipelines, and solving production challenges. What gets me out of bed? The challenge of taking complex financial problems and turning them into elegant code solutions. I've worked on deployment automation, schema migrations, and monitoring systems — but what really excites me is building my own tools to solve problems I see around me. I'm currently building a Stock Market Data Platform — a full-stack application that fetches, caches, and visualizes historical stock data. It's my way of exploring how code can make financial data more accessible and useful. Right now, I'm pursuing my Master's in Computer Applications to go deeper into software development. My goal: to become a strong backend developer who builds products that actually solve financial problems. I'm actively exploring SDE and backend developer roles in fintech. If you're working on something interesting or know of opportunities, I'd love to connect!
