Full Stack Developer with an MS in Computer Science and 2 years of experience building high-throughput, event-driven distributed systems and reactive web applications. I focus on low-latency data pipelines and p95 performance tuning using Kafka and Kubernetes. I also build production-grade Applied AI solutions, including RAG pipelines and LLM-powered agents, with strong LLMOps practices. I’ve improved system latency by ~40% and accelerated deployment velocity by ~60% through cloud-native, observability-driven engineering.

Work Experience

Software Developer Intern at CitiGroup, United States
December 1, 2025 - May 1, 2026
Engineered an end-to-end real-time streaming pipeline by deploying Python producers on Kubernetes to ingest transactional event logs into Apache Kafka; mapped complex data relationships within a Neo4j graph database to accelerate fraud pattern analysis. Designed a decoupled two-tier facial verification system on AWS using Amazon SQS to buffer requests between an EC2 web tier and an Inception-ResNet-V1 inference backend, maintaining stability during traffic spikes. Developed a high-performance Apache Spark analytics application in Scala to execute complex spatiotemporal UDFs and Getis-Ord Gi* hotspot detection, processing a 400-million-row dataset to deliver optimized regional resource maps.
