Hi, my name is
CS Student | Software Engineer
I build full-stack, backend and AI systems that stay fast, reliable and correct in production. Graduating from Georgia Tech in December 2026 and looking for full-stack, backend, platform or applied AI roles.
Experience
Software Engineer Co-op, Systems Engineering
CodeMettle
- Architected an internal developer platform replacing a manual copy workflow across 34 endpoints, automating assembly, versioning, and deployment of device template and panel packs behind a 501-test async suite.
- Reduced a core configuration API's latency 20x, from 5s to 0.24s, and cut writes per pack apply ~660 to 14, by redesigning per-asset rows into per-type manifests.
- Automated the release lifecycle end to end, from semantic-version bumps and Kaniko builds to Helm publishing and auto-generated rollout MRs, making merge-to-main the whole deploy path.
- Shipped drift detection, diffing, and revert for versioned asset packs, so any deployed asset traces to its exact commit.
- Delivered a real-time telemetry subsystem raising device polling from 90s to seconds mid-incident, with live-only routing that cut historical writes 8.1x.
Software Engineer Intern, Product Development
CodeMettle
- Built a migration utility converting legacy Cytoscape network maps into React Flow topologies, then delivered 15+ features and fixes for the Terminus edge-node monitoring platform.
- Hardened LDAP authentication by normalizing attribute-key casing and converting silent role-resolution failures into explicit fail-closed denials, closing a privilege-misassignment path, backed by 240+ lines of new tests.
Undergraduate Researcher, Financial Services Innovation Lab
Georgia Tech
- Developed a multi-task model jointly learning event extraction and stock movement prediction from financial text, using fine-grained events as distant supervision (AllenNLP, NLTK, Stanza), trained on SageMaker.
- Engineered a financial Q&A application on a team of 5 routing queries across GPT-4 and FinMA variants via a fine-tuned BERT classifier reaching 86% routing accuracy, evaluated on 14 FLARE benchmark tasks.
Featured Projects
SoCal House Prices
An XGBoost model for 15,474 Southern California home sales that nearly doubled explained variance (R² 0.35 to 0.64) and cut mean error from $228K to $145K.
About Me
I'm a computer science student at Georgia Tech with a minor in economics. I spent the last year on CodeMettle's systems team, first as an intern, then as a co-op.
My main project there was an internal developer platform I built from scratch. It replaced a manual copy workflow with an automated one: device template and panel packs are now assembled, versioned and deployed by the platform, every deployed asset traces back to its exact commit, and merging to main is the whole release. Along the way I took a core configuration API from 5s to 0.24s.
When my co-op ended, I kept building. SECDigest turns SEC filings into financial dashboards, and Vigil turns production alerts into Slack briefs. Both run publicly at zero cost.
Before that, I did NLP research at Georgia Tech's Financial Services Innovation Lab. Between that and my economics minor, I've picked up an interest in fintech.
Outside of code, I'm from Seattle and a big Seahawks fan. I also enjoy trying new foods, hiking, working out, and dabbling in photography.
