About

About Me

With over 2 years of experience as a Software Engineer, I build scalable frontend and full stack systems that prioritize reliability, performance, and clean architecture. My work spans complex UI workflows, REST API integrations, and data-driven backend systems across security and supply chain domains. At Splunk, I owned end-to-end development of structured data workflows using React and TypeScript, strengthening server-state synchronization and improving test stability. Previously at TCS, I worked on AI-driven Cost-to-Serve optimization models and Azure-based logistics systems to enhance operational efficiency. Currently pursuing a Master's in Computer Science at NYU, I focus on machine learning, distributed systems, and scalable software design. I approach engineering by understanding user behavior, system constraints, and long-term maintainability before writing code.
