What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters innovation and collaboration, allowing me to leverage my skills in networking and software development.

As a dedicated software engineer at Google, I lead cross-functional optimization initiatives that enhance the performance of our low-latency, CPU-efficient networking stack. My work has directly contributed to significant fleetwide CPU savings and improved networking capabilities, scaling from 1 Pbps to 6 Pbps. I take pride in mentoring junior engineers and interns, sharing my expertise in performance optimization techniques, and fostering a collaborative learning environment.

My previous experience includes an internship at Sandia National Laboratories, where I developed automation tools and security features for embedded systems. I also served as a teaching assistant at Georgia Institute of Technology, where I introduced programming concepts to over 2000 students. My academic background, with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and a perfect GPA, reflects my commitment to excellence in the field.
