What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a role building scalable, cloud-native systems and knowledge-graph driven analytics, focusing on data modeling, real-time pipelines, and BI/visualization in a collaborative, data-driven team with opportunities to deploy production systems and grow technically.

I am a software engineer with a Master’s in Computer Science and 4+ years building scalable, cloud-native systems. I specialize in Python, React, Cypher (Certified Neo4j Professional), and SQL/PLSQL, and I rapidly develop proofs of concept into production-grade deployments.

At Kansas State University I developed Python REST APIs and real-time ingestion pipelines using Apache Kafka, built an interactive Next.js dashboard integrated with Power BI, and designed Neo4j and AWS Neptune knowledge graphs to model drug mentions and adverse events. I automated OWL-to-Neo4j conversions and implemented migrations from PostgreSQL to graph databases to enable semantic queries for biomedical research.

Previously I contributed backend services using Java and Spring Boot, optimized database performance with PL/SQL and PostgreSQL, and supported iOS and .NET components during internships. I bring strong cross-functional communication, attention to data standards, and a pragmatic focus on delivering analytics and engineering solutions that drive research and business impact.
