About

MS in Computer Software Engineering @ Northeastern University (3.9 GPA), graduating December 2026. Currently a Software Engineer Co-op at Crewasis, building AI-marketing infrastructure.

I focus on backend services, cloud infrastructure, and the CI/CD that ties them together — Python, Java, AWS, PostgreSQL, Terraform.

Open to full-time Backend / Cloud Engineering roles starting January 2027.


Featured case studies

Each project has a written case study with architecture diagrams, key decisions, and trade-offs.

Celery + RabbitMQ — Circuit Breakers, Observability, Terraform

Production-grade task queue with dead-letter routing, idempotency keys, Redis-backed circuit breakers, and a Prometheus/Grafana observability stack. 8 services containerized via Docker Compose, deployed to ECS Fargate via Terraform.

Sub-Second Phone Conversations — Streaming STT + LLM + TTS

Voice agent handling real phone calls. Streaming pipeline over Twilio Media Streams with interrupt-aware router + barge-in support, so the caller can cut the agent off mid-sentence.

Full AWS Stack — Terraform IaC, Multi-AZ, Blue-Green CI/CD

3-repo platform: FastAPI service, Terraform IaC for the full AWS topology, and serverless email verification. Multi-AZ Auto Scaling Group behind an ALB with blue-green deployments via AMI bake.

Spring Boot — Concurrent Booking with Transactional Locks

Ride-booking platform on Spring Boot microservices. Row-level pessimistic locks prevent double-booking under contention; Redis caches the high-read paths so the database isn't hammered.
