About

I am a software engineer passionate about backend infrastructure and distributed systems. Over the last two years, I worked at Meta Reality Labs, building infrastructure for large-scale simulations — running across hundreds of machines and generating petabyte-scale data for building ML models. Before that, I worked in an early-stage startups, building systems from scratch and owning infrastructure end-to-end. That experience shaped how I think about systems — under constraints, ambiguity, and real usage. I am drawn to systems that operate at scale and matter in the real world. Problems where complexity is not optional, and trade-offs are unavoidable. I also spend time exploring finance, economics, quantitative thinking, and mathematics — trying to connect them back to systems.
