What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, offering opportunities for growth in cloud security and machine learning.

I am a dedicated software engineer with a strong background in cloud security and data analysis. Currently, I work at Forcepoint, where I manage an end-to-end offline scanning pipeline for Forcepoint One CASB, handling over 3.5TB of data daily for more than 8 million daily active users. My role involves implementing innovative solutions that enhance scanning throughput and compliance with data residency regulations, significantly improving operational efficiency.

In addition to my technical expertise, I have a solid foundation in machine learning, having served as a research assistant at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. There, I developed a new interpretable architecture for quantifying brand empathy, achieving an impressive accuracy of 86.5%. My passion for leveraging technology to solve complex problems drives my commitment to continuous learning and improvement in my field.
