About

Backend software engineer working on high-impact, client-facing systems. My interests extend into computational engineering, including physics- and math-based modeling, machine learning, and performance-critical systems. I have hands-on experience with CUDA, and GPU computing through prior projects, internships, and academic work, and enjoy working close to the hardware when performance matters. I’m particularly interested in roles and collaborations at the intersection of ML, high-performance computing, and applied modeling.
