About

I am a passionate Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience, specializing in C++, multithreading, and performance optimization, with a strong foundation in DSA and Object-Oriented Design. At Synopsys, I work on the C++ engine of a production FPGA synthesis tool, where profiling, concurrency, and low-level optimization are core to the role—the kind of work that makes systems faster at scale. Earlier, at Pure Storage and American Express, I built diagnostics APIs and automation across distributed systems. I am increasingly drawn to where systems performance meets AI tooling, and have been building a foundation in LLM fundamentals, prompt engineering, and agentic workflows. Let's connect if you'd like to collaborate or explore opportunities together!
