What I'm looking for

I seek roles building AI-driven backends or security-focused systems at collaborative teams where I can apply ML, cloud, and backend skills while learning from code reviews and real-world deployments.

I am a Computer Science undergraduate focused on building scalable AI-driven backends and practical security solutions, with hands-on experience in Flask, FastAPI, MongoDB, and OpenAI integrations. I have engineered production-ready systems for college events and startup job platforms, and delivered projects in NLP, CV, and NL→SQL that showcase practical ML, data engineering, and full-stack capabilities.

As an active contributor to a university cybersecurity club and multiple hackathons/CTFs, I combine offensive-security knowledge with engineering discipline to drive reliability, automation, and performance improvements. I seek roles where I can apply my backend, cloud, and ML experience to build secure, scalable products and continue growing through collaborative code reviews and cross-functional work.
