What I'm looking for

I seek internships or junior roles in AI, backend, or DevOps where I can build scalable systems, work with cloud-native tooling, and have measurable product impact.

I am a computer science student and software engineer focused on building scalable backend and AI-driven systems, with hands-on experience deploying production web apps using Django, Next.js, React, and AWS. I have led backend development for AI products, integrated large-language and multimodal models, and delivered high-traffic event systems such as a certificate generator that issued 700+ certificates in real time.

I enjoy working across the stack—from API design and cloud deployment to performance monitoring and automation—and contribute to open-source and event operations. I seek roles where I can apply strong engineering fundamentals, collaborate with researchers and product teams, and deliver impactful, reliable systems.
