About
I'm a Software Engineer and AI Researcher specializing in backend architecture, distributed systems, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. I focus on building scalable, intelligent systems that power modern enterprise workflows and data-driven services.
I earned my Master of Science in Computer Science from Northeastern University and have published peer-reviewed research in IEEE and international conferences. My academic work focuses on intelligent systems, natural language processing, and large-scale machine learning applications.
In industry, I've designed and optimized distributed microservices with modern technologies, enabling real-time data processing at scale. I combine strong engineering principles with research insights to build practical AI solutions that solve real-world problems.
Technical Focus
Projects
End-to-end systems and products I've designed, built, and shipped.
Distributed Java dating service handling ~500M daily requests with Redis caching and AWS EC2; CQRS storage and Kafka partitions reduced dispatch time 200ms→100ms; stress tests showed 2k→6.6k req/s and 200→30ms latency.
Full‑stack job posting app with Node.js REST APIs and React UI; JWT auth with bcrypt; responsive design; deployed on Heroku with MongoDB Atlas and Cloudinary.
Discord bot for food ordering and restaurant info using Java/JDA and MongoDB Atlas; DI & MVC architecture; built with Gradle and deployed on Fly.io.
Full‑stack JS app for browsing campsite reviews and comments; RESTful APIs with CRUD; MongoDB Atlas for data and Cloudinary for images; deployed on Heroku.
