About

Backend-focused Software Engineer with experience designing and building API-driven, database-backed applications using Java, Spring Boot, and SQL. I enjoy architecting scalable systems, structuring relational data models, and implementing clean RESTful services that support real-world use cases. Through academic leadership and independent projects, I’ve developed full-stack applications, containerized backend services with Docker, and implemented CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions. I’ve also led cross-functional teams in delivering technically rigorous solutions, including a sponsored senior design project in collaboration with Keysight Technologies. I’m currently seeking Junior Backend or Software Engineering roles where I can contribute to building reliable, scalable systems while continuing to deepen my expertise in distributed and cloud-based architectures.
