I'm an engineer based in Boston, currently getting my hands dirty with kubernetes. I absolutely love building products that make a real difference in people's lives. More to share soon.

Previously, I worked at Siglens and Koch Industries. I recently graduated from Northeastern with a master's in Software Engineering, and I also have a bachelor's from Visvesvaraya Technological University in Electronics and Communication Engineering. During my time at Northeastern, I dove headfirst into hackathons, passionately contributed to open-source projects, and led an incredible team of over 1,000 student employees managing end-to-end residential operations, all while focusing on training and leadership development.

I took quite a few courses outside of my department, mostly related to information systems and system design. Before starting my master's degree, I spent years diving into all sorts of technologies and frameworks. I've been building backend services and distributed systems for years, both in school and at work. I absolutely love coding in Java but also enjoy coding in Go and Javascript. I'm super passionate about Kubernetes and always diving deeper into it with new projects. I also (though not as often as I'd like) share my experiences and learnings on my medium blog.

In my free time, I watch long-form podcasts, overthink philosophy (it's a rabbit hole I love), dive into history, and hunt for good music. I also love swimming-turns out making a splash is more fun than perfecting strokes!
