About

Currently pursuing a Master's in Computer Science at Columbia University, I also serve as a Teaching Assistant II, leading cloud infrastructure setup and mentoring students in the Intro to Databases course. My recent internship at Columbia Build Lab involved developing a full-stack application for medication adherence using Node.js, React, and MongoDB. Previously at Nutanix, I optimized storage protocols, boosting system performance by 4% through the integration of smartNICs and multi-pathing. I'm passionate about creating scalable, user-centric solutions and thrive in collaborative environments.
