About Me — Areas of Expertise
I am an AI and backend-focused software engineer with ~2 years of hands-on experience building scalable systems where intelligent models meet reliable infrastructure. Currently pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Chicago, I’m deeply curious about distributed systems, cloud platforms, and production-ready AI.
AI & ML Engineering
Design and productionize machine learning models and pipelines, focusing on reliable inference, model integration with backend services, and maintainable model ops.
Backend & Distributed Systems
Build APIs and microservices with attention to scalability, fault tolerance, and performance; design systems for observability and operational robustness.
Cloud Platforms & Data
Architect and operate data workflows and cloud deployments, focusing on reliable orchestration, storage strategies, and production-ready ML infrastructure.
Systems Programming
Develop performance-sensitive components with an emphasis on low-level efficiency, resource management, and correctness in systems-level code.
