I'm a software engineer with a strong foundation in backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and applied ML. I like working on problems where getting it wrong has real consequences — and building the kind of software that holds up when it matters.
My background spans backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, data engineering, and applied AI. I've built things from scratch and shipped them to real users, and I care as much about clean architecture as I do about the problem being worth solving.
Here's some recent work I'm proud of:
- Lodestar: ELT analytics platform with Airflow, dbt, and Terraform, verified end to end from ingestion to analytics-ready tables.
- Tideline: CDC streaming lakehouse with Debezium, Kafka, Spark, and Delta Lake, validated on a live Docker stack.
- Argus: self-hosted observability platform with real-time ML anomaly detection (Kafka, Spark, Isolation Forest, LSTM autoencoders).
- Meridian: multi-agent LLM research assistant with source attribution (LangGraph, FAISS, RAGAS, Claude).
- NexLedger: event-sourced banking backend with CQRS, Kafka sagas, Redis idempotency, and fraud scoring.
- CourtAccess AI: real-time courtroom interpretation and legal translation for the Massachusetts Trial Court. Presented at a Google expo.
I'm actively looking for roles in Backend Engineering, Data Engineering, Data Science, AI/ML Engineering, or Full-Stack Development. On OPT, STEM extension eligible, available immediately.
