What I'm looking for

I seek backend/cloud-native roles building scalable, real-time systems with a collaborative team, mentorship, and opportunities to own production services.

I am a software engineer with hands-on internship experience building backend and cloud-native systems at product-focused companies. I focus on designing scalable, secure services and real-time data pipelines that meet production SLAs.

At internships I integrated Active Directory with cloud IAM, built a Go-based validation service with mTLS, contributed to a remote VM command execution system, and engineered a real-time ingestion pipeline handling 1,000+ events/second while reducing processing from 36 hours to near real-time. I also designed a rule engine with 100% segregation accuracy and implemented multithreaded concurrency improvements.

Beyond engineering, I led a university music club as president and won a national hackathon for an innovative backend solution. I enjoy collaborative teams, solving system-level problems, and building reliable services that scale.
