About

I’m a Software Engineer passionate about building applications that scale to millions of users. With experience across backend systems, distributed architectures, and full-stack development, I focus on designing solutions that are resilient, performant, and cloud-native. I’ve worked on projects ranging from real-time chat platforms with microservices and Kubernetes to ranking systems at Meta that supported millions of users across Instagram, Horizon, and VR. My expertise spans system design, cloud infrastructure, and user experience, ensuring that every product I build is both technically robust and impactful. Core Strengths: - Scalable backend & distributed systems (Java, Go, Hack, Spring Boot, Node.js) - Cloud & DevOps (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Jenkins) - Databases & messaging (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ) - Full-stack development (React, Next.js, TypeScript) Currently pursuing my Master’s in Computer Science at Northeastern University (GPA 4.0), I’ve gained industry experience at Meta, Curriculum Associates, and Northeastern University as a TA. 🚀 My goal: to design and scale systems that power the next generation of applications—whether in social platforms, edtech, or enterprise software. Always open to connecting with engineers, product leaders, and innovators who are passionate about scalable systems and impactful technology.
