About

I'm a passionate Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience building scalable, data-driven applications that solve real-world problems. At Amazon Ads, I engineered microservices and automated operations, reducing ticket volumes and boosting ad revenues. With a strong foundation in Python, AWS, and SQL—and a Master's in Data Science from the University at Buffalo—I thrive at the intersection of software development and analytics. I’ve also contributed to projects in cloud architecture, ETL pipelines, and frontend modernization. I enjoy crafting reliable systems, solving bugs with precision, and working with cross-functional teams to ship impactful features. 🔍 Currently diving deeper into LLMs and cloud certifications (AWS Cloud Practitioner). Let's connect if you're into data, tech, or just love solving hard problems!
