About Me

Passionate about building
scalable systems

I'm a Software Engineer at SoFi with 4+ years of experience building high-performance backend systems, ML infrastructure, and cloud-native applications. I specialize in Java/Spring Boot, Python, and AWS cloud architecture.

Previously at Bank of America, I optimized ML pipelines saving $120K/year and built scalable PySpark data pipelines. I'm passionate about writing clean, efficient code and architecting systems that handle millions of requests.
