What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can ship reliable systems through memory-safe C/C++ practices and contribute to applied ML/quantum research, collaborating with engineers who value clean architecture, type safety, and measurable impact.

I’m an Open Source Developer selected for Google Summer of Code 2026 (GNU Aris), where I work on source code auditing and memory-safety hardening for a legacy C/C++ engine, including compiling safety-critical builds to WebAssembly.

I navigate large legacy codebases to optimize resource safety and system architecture—resolving critical memory leaks and applying SOLID principles to consolidate scattered UI state mutations into a single-source-of-truth C++/QML bridge. I also refactor legacy APIs toward structured interfaces that enforce type safety and cleaner component boundaries.

Beyond systems work, I build data-driven projects and applied research: a personality prediction engine using Python/scikit-learn with ensemble models, and a quantum research extension of QAOA with route-cost objectives and graph-partitioning to address NISQ hardware limits.
