Software Engineer
I bring ideas to life through expressive, intuitive design — building digital experiences that feel just as good as they look.
Software engineer by training, design enthusiast by obsession, and die-hard sports fan by life sentence. I studied Computer Science at UT Dallas and spent years crafting fast, responsive, pixel-perfect web experiences. Cricket, football(soccer), F1, basketball, NFL, my weekends have a very packed schedule and absolutely zero free time between fixtures. I get equally fired up about a bug that turns out to be a one-line fix and a last-minute United winner, which is either a superpower or a personality quirk depending on who you ask. When I'm not pushing pixels, I'm probably deep in match stats, arguing whether the fastest lap point actually matters in F1, or convincing myself the project I'm starting next week absolutely needs a custom design system first.
A RAG-powered chatbot that answers questions about Andrej Karpathy's NanoChat, with a hand-rolled retrieval pipeline: AST-based chunking, ChromaDB, and Sentence-Transformers, built without frameworks like LangChain. Served via FastAPI to a React/TypeScript chat interface.
A full-stack habit tracker built to solve a real problem. Implemented authentication from scratch rather than relying on a third-party auth provider. Designed a relational schema across five tables to support habit tracking, daily completion logging, and streak-based XP without data loss on edit or deletion.
A responsive movie discovery platform built with a ReactJS frontend and Express.js + MongoDB backend to persist movies, user likes, and preferences.
Part time, 2026 — Present
Mentor student engineering teams through EPICS, a program where students build production software for real nonprofit clients; full lifecycle, from scoping requirements with the client through deployment. I standardized development protocols across teams (React/TypeScript conventions, PR/code review process, automated testing basics) so students aren't just shipping working code, but code that survives a handoff.
2019 — 2025
Owned front-end development within a two-person engineering team, working directly with leadership, UX, and content stakeholders to ship and iterate on the company website. Customized Drupal CMS with custom modules and themes, implemented SEO strategies, and optimized performance through Core Web Vitals improvements and cross-browser testing.
2020 — 2021
Mentored freshman and sophomore students in introductory computer science courses, providing guidance on programming fundamentals, debugging techniques, and academic strategies to support their transition into CS studies.
