About Me

I’m a Master’s student at USC specializing in full-stack engineering and scalable backend systems.Recently, I’ve been exploring how AI can streamline development, power smarter user experiences, and help teams move from reactive to predictive systems.

I like working on systems that get smarter and more reliable over time, combining solid engineering basics with practical AI to automate debugging, optimize performance, and turn engineering intuition into measurable wins in production.

Recently I've been focusing on observability, cloud-native architecture, and making it easier for teams to ship quickly without losing stability.
