Software Engineer at TikTok

Contributed to Node.js / Nest.js backend services supporting media processing pipelines for ads, live video, and video-on-demand systems. Built distributed systems to handle high-throughput encoding and transcoding workflows (H.264/H.265/H.266), ensuring reliable global media delivery. Optimized service performance and reduced latency across video processing pipelines through efficient concurrency handling and system profiling. Implemented caching strategies using Redis to improve throughput and reduce backend load in high-traffic scenarios. Collaborated cross-functionally with product and infrastructure teams to productize media processing features and enable smooth global rollout.

Software Engineer - L4 at Nuro

Designed, productized, and maintained a full-stack system to remotely configure partner branding for Nuro’s autonomous delivery vehicles, reducing engineering time required to brand customer deliveries and investor demos by over 95%. Led a complex architecture for fetching, calculating, and displaying the source of truth for order information using TypeScript. Collaborated with Product and Design to define business requirements and rollout strategies. Built an error-detection system to optimize ID-ing and surfacing delays at pickup/drop-off, vehicle errors, mis-assigned vehicles, and failure to generate autonomous routes, reducing operator TTD for order-related errors by over 80%. Implemented a mission-critical flow for dispatching orders and advancing order state to support recovery from bad states and ensure autonomous fleet resilience. Developed a real-time monitoring and troubleshooting tool (every 30 seconds) for mock order generation, yielding a 50% reduction in manual interven

Software Engineer - L3 at Nuro

Built back-end services supporting autonomous order life cycle and vehicle dispatch systems, ensuring reliable coordination between order creation, route generation, and vehicle assignment during live delivery operations. Investigated and resolved complex production issues involving mission timing, order state inconsistencies, and vehicle telemetry gaps, improving system stability during real-world autonomous deliveries.

Software Engineer Intern at Braze

Created a line chart component with responsive hover states using React and TypeScript from architecture to deployment. Coordinated the creation of a new charting library across multiple teams and gathered requirements for the frontend component roadmap in an organization-wide effort to improve branding after going public in an $8B IPO. Added end-to-end Cypress tests to mock frontend user flows and Jest unit tests to validate component rendering.

Software Engineer Intern at Coursera

Developed scalable Java microservices to streamline the migration of $10M worth of external course content to Coursera. Created an automated workflow for unpacking and mapping external course content from AWS to native Coursera models within a continuous deployment pipeline, resulting in educators saving ~67% more time when building Coursera courses. Identified and resolved multiple security risks for Course Creation APIs in Scala and increased test coverage.

Software Engineer Intern at Open Water Accelerator

Launched the user portfolio MVP for Project ANT, a platform connecting freelancers and showcasting portfolios. Designed and built PostgreSQL database architecture and drove key decisions around long-term maintainability and performance. Created and tested TypeScript APIs for integration with AWS and implemented single sign-on authentication with Passport.js.
