About

I’m a software engineer with two-plus years of production experience building backend systems that have to actually hold up, race-condition-free under thousands of concurrent users, fast under batch loads of fifty thousand transactions a day, and reliable enough for insurance and telecom workloads where downtime has real consequences. My day-to-day is Java and Spring, but the projects I’ve shipped have pulled me deep into AWS, Kubernetes, and applied AI alongside the core backend work.

The work I’m most drawn to lives at the seam between backend engineering and the systems around it, figuring out how a service should be structured to stay correct under load, where caching belongs, when a problem actually needs an AI layer versus when it just needs better data modeling. I care about systems that are still working, and still understandable even long after I’ve moved on.

Right now I’m finishing my MS in Software Engineering Systems at Northeastern, graduating December 2026, and open to full-time Software Engineering roles starting 2026 in backend, cloud, or applied AI.

Outside of engineering, I enjoy exploring different cuisines and playing cricket.

Autonomous SRE Agent on Kubernetes

Designed and prototyped an autonomous reliability agent that detects production failures across Kubernetes clusters in under thirty seconds, replacing reactive log-correlation workflows with real-time Kubernetes watch streams, Prometheus metrics, and ML-based classification.

Enterprise Infrastructure Automation Platform

Reduced Active Directory lab environment provisioning from four weeks to under thirty minutes by architecting a multi-stack CloudFormation IaC framework spanning twenty-plus AWS resources across five logical stacks with JSON schema validation, idempotent deployments, and scheduled drift detection.

RAG-Based Enterprise AI Chatbot

Built a production AI chatbot reducing support ticket volume by sixty percent on an enterprise insurance platform, Spring Boot orchestrator with WebSocket-backed real-time conversations, LangChain and OpenAI for policy inquiry workflows, Redis-backed session state, and confidence-threshold escalation to human agents.

Cloud-Native Premium Calculation Engine

Built and scaled the insurance premium calculation engine serving more than one million users across three thousand concurrent sessions, eliminated race conditions through stateless request design, parallelized independent data fetches with CompletableFuture, and added Redis caching with programmatic invalidation.
