I'm a software engineer interested in building scalable backend systems, cloud applications, and AI-powered developer tools.

During my internship at Microsoft, I developed an AI-powered internal platform using C#/.NET, Azure Functions, and Azure OpenAI, implementing autonomous SQL generation, agent workflows, security guardrails, and production observability.

Previously at Sports Excitement, I built backend microservices for a sports marketplace using Node.js, Express, Prisma, and Redis, collaborating closely with product managers and engineers in an Agile Scrum environment.

Outside of internships, I enjoy building full-stack applications and participating in hackathons. My team earned 2nd Place at ShellHacks 2025 (Google AI for Social Good) for developing EzSpeak, an AI-powered Chrome extension providing real-time captions, translation, and voice synthesis for multilingual communication.
