What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can design scalable backend and simulation systems, work on transport or robotics problems, collaborate cross-functionally, and apply research-driven, reproducible workflows to deliver measurable impact.

I am a software engineer and master's researcher focused on transportation systems, optimization, and scalable backend architectures. I build high-fidelity simulation platforms, design event-driven distributed systems, and apply algorithmic techniques to real-world mobility problems, leveraging Python, cloud-native tools, and experiment tracking to produce reproducible, scalable results.

My experience includes developing a DRT simulation platform that scales to large urban networks, architecting low-latency backend control systems for robotics, and deploying production services using AWS, Docker, and observability tooling. I prioritize robust system design, reproducible experimentation, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver impactful, reliable solutions.
