About

MS in Computer Science from USC. Engineer at Gemini building secure, production-grade systems in a live crypto exchange environment. I work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, identity, and automation - designing IAM orchestration across multi-account AWS environments, shipping Python/Go services, building Terraform-based infrastructure, and developing internal full-stack tools used daily by hundreds of engineers. My focus is secure-by-default systems that don’t slow teams down. Tech stack includes Python, Go, C++, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node, Flask, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, and SQL/NoSQL databases.
