About Me
I'm a Computer Science student at ASU focused on building AI/ML pipelines and backend systems that move data reliably end-to-end. I care deeply about clean abstractions, rigorous testing, and performance that holds in production.
From mentoring 180+ students on debugging and algorithms to building NLP pipelines that cut manual effort by 40% — I ship things that work, are documented, and built to last.

What I Do
AI & ML Engineering
Building production NLP pipelines, model training workflows, and AI integrations that hold in real-world environments.
Backend & APIs
Designing RESTful APIs with structured validation, error handling, and performance-focused data flows.
Full-Stack Delivery
End-to-end feature delivery in Agile teams — frontend, backend, code reviews, and documentation.

Jan 2025 – Dec 2025
Software Engineer
ASU Industry Capstone · Arizona State University
Built and secured a live Next.js platform for an industry sponsor. Detected and contained a crypto-mining malware attack targeting the Docker build pipeline — hardened the Dockerfile, wrote automated malware detection scripts, and authored a security incident response runbook. Built a 24/7 monitoring and auto-recovery daemon (systemd service, 60-second health checks, automatic container restart). Designed and shipped a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline: build → push to GHCR → SSH webhook deploy, cutting deployment time from ~15 min manual to ~2 min automated. Integrated Microsoft Graph API for transactional email (approval notifications, CC routing, HTML templates). Replaced the high-severity xlsx CVE with ExcelJS across all API routes and scripts, and eliminated all TypeScript any types to unblock a CI lint gate that had been blocking merges.
