What I'm looking for

I seek roles building reliable, scalable cloud systems with strong observability and automated testing, in collaborative Agile teams that value maintainability and growth.

I am a computer science student and software engineer who builds reliable cloud-native systems and automation to streamline complex workflows. I have hands-on internship experience improving service observability, writing unit tests, and designing REST API specifications to speed team onboarding.

In research roles I developed C++ simulation and testing frameworks that processed thousands of events, improved data accuracy, and refactored codebases for better maintainability and collaboration. I also design reinforcement-learning experiments in Unity, combining C#, Python, Blender models, and CUDA training to boost agent performance.

My projects span resume parsing pipelines, Splunk monitoring dashboards, and automated data ingestion. I prioritize scalable architectures, proactive monitoring, and reproducible testing to reduce downtime and accelerate delivery.
