What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles where I can build performant, testable systems and ML-enabled products, collaborate cross-functionally, and grow into production-facing technical leadership.

I am a computer science student with hands-on experience building scalable systems, low-latency real-time applications, and production-facing dashboards. I have reduced API latency, implemented modular React dashboards from Figma, and improved retention through data analysis at Snap, while contributing C++ gameplay and leading QA processes for a Steam-published game.

My projects span attention tracking with MediaPipe, async FastAPI backends with JWT and indexed SQL schemas, and high-accuracy object detection using YOLOv5 with a C++/Python OpenCV bridge. I prioritize measurable performance gains, test coverage, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver polished, user-focused products.
