About

I’m a Master’s student in Computer Science at the University of Southern California (graduating Dec 2025) with 3+ years of full-time industry experience at Microsoft and an internship experience at Amazon, building developer productivity tools and distributed systems that operate at global scale. At Microsoft, I worked on the Bing Engineering Systems team, designing tools and infrastructure that improved productivity for 8,000+ developers. My work ranged from scaling monorepository tooling and enabling 2TB file storage to building insights dashboards used by corporate VPs to track organization-wide developer metrics. As an Amazon Web Services intern, I designed and developed automation systems using AWS services to eliminate weeks of manual effort for developers, driving efficiency, visibility, and scalability in production operations. Beyond industry, I’ve worked on researching bias in large language models and natural language processing, earning recognition at the SAIRS 2025 conference for my work with my team on dialect bias detection and mitigation. I’m also a nonprofit cofounder and mentor, helping students secure internships and first jobs in tech. My leadership and volunteer work reflect my belief that technology’s impact grows when we share knowledge and expand access to opportunity. I thrive at the intersection of scale, developer experience, and impactful engineering, and I’m eager to keep building systems that empower teams to deliver their best work.
