About Me
Hey there! I'm a Computer Science master's student at Northeastern University graduating in May 2026. I'm a full-stack engineer with 2+ years of experience building cloud-based and data-driven applications. I hold certifications in AWS Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) and Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900).
I'm currently a Software Engineer Co-op at Skillsoft (Jan 2025 - Aug 2025) where I deliver frontend and backend features using Next.js, Ruby on Rails, GraphQL, and AWS. I owned the migration to Python 3.13, improving build stability by 30%, and implemented token optimization that reduced OpenAI API usage by 20%. I also expanded global reach by integrating Amazon Translate to support multilingual content across 3 new languages.
Before that, I spent 2+ years at Accenture (Oct 2021 - Dec 2023) as an Associate Software Engineer. I engineered React-based UIs and REST APIs for Chubb's North American insurance platform. I resolved 150+ production defects, reducing support tickets by 25%, and optimized API performance to lower response latency by 20%.
I enjoy working across the stack—from designing clean APIs to deploying services on AWS, Azure, and GCP. I'm passionate about experimenting with AI features using FastAPI and modern LLM tools. I care about writing solid code, learning new things, and building products that have a real impact.
I'm looking for full-time software engineering opportunities starting May 2026 where I can grow, work with great people, and help build meaningful products.
