About

I'm a Software Engineering student (2027 Graduate) with a deep passion for building high-performance distributed systems and fault-tolerant backend architectures. I thrive at the intersection of functional programming, database engineering, and scalable infrastructure — where correctness, performance, and reliability are non-negotiable. I've built production systems handling 1.8M+ requests/hour with 99.9% availability and achieved 77x latency improvements through multi-level caching and query optimization. My work spans financial ledgers, academic platforms, and AI pipelines — all with 85%+ test coverage and a first-principles approach to problem-solving. Beyond code, I've led teams of 50 engineers, established engineering standards, and mentored peers in Agile environments. I'm driven by hard problems, clean architecture, and technology that moves at scale.
