About Me

I'm a Software Engineer and Master's student in Scalable Systems at Carnegie Mellon University (Dec 2026). I focus on distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and database optimization. My work includes building decentralized exchanges, scalable backends, and high-concurrency systems using technologies such as Node.js, AWS, PostgreSQL, Docker, and Solidity. I also enjoy mentoring, contributing to open source, and exploring new technologies that improve system performance at scale.
