I am a Backend Engineer with over 4 years of experience building scalable, distributed systems and data pipelines using Java, Spring Boot, and Python. I design high-performance REST APIs, automate CI/CD workflows, and integrate event-driven architectures for real-time data processing. I enjoy collaborating with machine learning engineers and cross-functional teams to build tools that support large-scale data workflows, optimize system performance, and reduce compute overhead. I am comfortable leveraging AWS and orchestration tools like Airflow, and I value maintainable infrastructure that accelerates research and enhances product scalability. I am adept at translating requirements into robust backend services, mentoring teammates, and delivering reliable software in fast-paced environments.
