I am a software engineer with a B.S. in Statistics who bridges deterministic backend engineering and probabilistic GenAI systems, focusing on Golang and Java for enterprise-grade solutions.
I've built high-scale Golang microservices sustaining 99.99% uptime, engineered AI agents and multi-model gateways to modernize legacy monoliths, and improved LLM-driven refactoring accuracy and developer productivity.
