About

I started out on traditional machine learning systems — integrating classical models into production APIs and learning what it takes to run ML reliably at scale. To strengthen the systems side, I finished a Master's in Computer Science at Northeastern in May 2025, focused on distributed systems, backend engineering, and cloud-native architecture.

Today I work at the intersection of backend APIs, large-scale data systems, and agentic AI: high-throughput services and workflow-driven automation that pair LLM reasoning with deterministic, production-grade engineering.

Alongside the technical work I've spent a lot of time on leadership, mentorship, and teaching at Northeastern, and was honored with the Society of Distinctions and the Emerging Graduate Student Leader Award. I'm drawn to teams building backend platforms and agentic systems that are robust, explainable, and genuinely production-ready.

What I work on

API-first backends
High-throughput services built to stay fast and predictable.
Cloud-native on AWS
Systems that scale without surprises or 3 a.m. pages.
Agentic AI pipelines
LLM reasoning wrapped in deterministic engineering.
Mentorship & DX
Teaching, reviewing, and making teams faster.
