What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles building scalable AI or backend systems, with opportunities for hands-on cloud work, compiler or systems projects, and mentorship for rapid technical growth.

I am a computer engineering student focused on building scalable AI systems and low-level tools, blending practical backend engineering with applied machine learning.

I launched VaderAI, a real-time AI voice interview platform deployed on Vercel that supported 500+ interviews and onboarded 200+ users, reducing candidate wait times by 40% through GPT streaming integrations and a serverless Firebase backend.

I engineered a custom C++ compiler using Lex and Yacc, implementing lexical analysis, parsing, syntax and semantic analysis, and efficient code generation that demonstrates my strong grasp of compiler design and systems programming.

I have hands-on experience with cloud architectures (AWS, Firebase), web frameworks (Next.js), data tools (NumPy, Pandas), and software development practices (Git, VSCode). I seek opportunities where I can contribute to product-facing AI systems, backend scalability, or developer tooling while continuing to grow technically.
