Hey! I'm a full stack engineer who really enjoys backend systems, infrastructure, and distributed systems, but I also like building things end-to-end and seeing them come together in the frontend. Most recently, I was a software engineering intern at T-Mobile.
I've also gotten pretty involved in open source over the years, spending two summers with Zulip through Google Summer of Code. I started as a contributor and came back the following year as a mentor.

Software Engineering Intern
T-Mobile
Built a LangGraph orchestrator that spins up sub-agents to analyze telemetry and diagnose root cause for production incidents, recommending remediation. Paired it with an anomaly agent flagging trends and spikes, surfaced on a Next.js dashboard.
Software Engineering Intern
Zulip (Google Summer of Code)
Authored 20+ pull requests to Zulip's terminal client, building a real-time event handling system, widget support, cross-platform fixes, and UI improvements, maintaining 90%+ test coverage.
Technical Mentor
Zulip (Google Summer of Code)
Reviewed 45 commits across Zulip's Integration Library and web app, mentoring a contributor through design decisions, project tracking, and iterative code review.
Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, CS 262
George Mason University
Hosted weekly lab sessions for 100+ students on C and Unix systems programming, and answered questions on the course discussion board on concepts, logistics, and debugging with GDB, Valgrind, and Makefiles.
