What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and support reliable software platforms where I can solve production issues, strengthen CI/CD and monitoring systems, and work closely with engineering teams and end users.

I've supported enterprise SaaS, government, and financial platforms by troubleshooting applications, configuring systems, and documenting fixes that help teams resolve issues faster.

At the University of Pennsylvania, I maintained GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines and supported TypeScript REST APIs used by teams across 12 academic schools. I also built civic-tech systems at GDi Partners serving 150K+ users and monitoring infrastructure at Darwinbox across 50+ enterprise tenants.

I'm currently completing a Master’s in Computer Science at the University of Pennsylvania while building open-source backend systems, including a Financial MCP Server with FastAPI and PostgreSQL.
