I'm a software engineer who genuinely loves building things that work well and last.

I got into engineering because I wanted to understand how systems tick — and I haven't stopped being curious since. What drives me is the feeling of shipping something that makes a real difference — whether that's a zero-data-loss orchestration pipeline, an internal platform that saves teams hours of manual work, or just a clean API that's a pleasure to use. I still have a ton to learn, and that's what excites me most about this field.

Journey

Professional Experience

I've had the opportunity to work across a diverse set of engineering domains, from product development to distributed systems, and I'm energized by the endless opportunities to learn, build, and create impact in the years ahead.

  • Software Engineer (Technology & Data Rotational Program)

    Prudential Financial
    ExperienceJan 2024 – Present
    • Engineered resilient retry logic for a Kubernetes Namespace Registration service using AWS SQS and Dead Letter Queues (DLQ), ensuring zero data loss and autonomous recovery from transient downstream outages
    • Re-architected task-processing logic from a 2,000+ line switch-based implementation into a config-driven dictionary framework, reducing codebase bloat by 90% (~200 lines) and accelerating new requirement integration
    • Built a Python data pipeline to ingest and normalize 5.5k+ ServiceNow privileged access request data, leveraging Claude Code for LLM-driven software categorization to support initiatives reducing unnecessary admin access and improving security posture
    • Led the development of a self-service internal admin platform, eliminating dozens of weekly manual support requests and significantly reducing developer operational overhead
    • Designed and scaled a Microsoft Fabric analytics pipeline processing 10k+ daily ECS/EKS container telemetry records from Wiz, producing structured time-series datasets and executive-facing dashboards that improved resource cost attribution, cluster visibility, and optimization decision-making
    • Implemented a standardized error-handling library adopted across 4 core orchestration services, improving production stability and cutting issue triage time

  • Software Engineer Intern — Full-Stack

    Prudential Financial
    ExperienceJun 2023 – Aug 2023
    • Developed a Node.js (Koa.js) middleware layer to streamline secure request routing and data transmission between frontend clients and core distribution APIs
    • Led a cross-functional hackathon team in designing and building a web application with React.js, guiding members from diverse technical backgrounds through successful project delivery

  • Software Engineer Intern — Full-Stack

    Verisk Analytics
    ExperienceJun 2022 – Dec 2022
    • Designed and built a core mapping interface using Google Maps Platform and MapboxGL, delivering foundational spatial visualization features for the primary web application
    • Refactored legacy components using Angular best practices, collaborating with senior engineers to enhance codebase maintainability and performance

And a new adventure ahead
