What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth and mentorship.

I'm a software engineer with over 5 years of experience in building scalable systems at leading tech companies like IBM, Amazon, and Microsoft. My expertise lies in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and backend development. Currently, I am pursuing an MSc in Computer Science, focusing on AI, which complements my hands-on experience in the industry.

At Microsoft, I enhanced Xbox's game package upload speed significantly by optimizing the blob storage strategy and distributed architecture. I also built a vector store service that powers Teams Copilot's natural language support, impacting over 320 million users. My previous role at Amazon involved leading the development of an event-driven asset recovery system, which saved the company millions annually by automating hardware offboarding processes. I take pride in mentoring interns and junior engineers, fostering a culture of operational excellence.
