About

I’m a Master’s graduate in Computer Science at NC State (May '26 grad )and a former Software Engineer at Cisco. Looking for new grad roles ! At NC State’s Moise A. Khayrallah Center, I design and deploy AI-powered document processing pipelines that combine OCR, semantic indexing, and distributed task queues to process 100GB+ historical archives. I work with FastAPI, Celery, Redis, and Elasticsearch to enable real-time semantic search, and recently migrated services to OpenStack with Ceph object storage , reducing cloud costs by $300/month. Previously at Cisco, I built automated AWS Step Functions metrics pipelines, containerized backend services with Docker, deployed them on ECS, and provisioned infrastructure using Terraform. My work improved observability and reduced execution-metrics generation time by 90%. Tech Stack: Python, Go, C++, JavaScript | FastAPI, React | PyTorch, PySpark, LangChain | PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Redis, Ceph | AWS, Docker, Terraform, Linux
