01.about

Building things that actually work.

I'm a Computer Science senior at Stevens Institute of Technology (expected May 2026), with hands-on experience across the full stack — from architecting SQL Server schemas and REST APIs to fine-tuning LLMs and building out CI/CD pipelines.

I care about writing clean, maintainable code and building systems that scale. Whether it's a backend service handling thousands of records or an ML model hitting 90% accuracy on 6M+ rows, I like work that has measurable impact.

Let's build something
together.

I'm actively looking for full-time SWE roles starting mid-2026. Open to full-stack, backend, or ML/AI positions. Let's talk.
