Actively seeking SDE/SE/FullStack Roles | Interning at TradingBlock | CodePath Student | CS Grad @ Rutgers University | Star Recognition Award - HPE

An accomplished Software Engineer with a proven track record in the Software industry, I bring to the table a rich experience of working with high fault-tolerant systems, automation, and cross-platform migration tools. My stint at Hewlett Packard Enterprise allowed me to contribute significantly to the revenue growth of NonStop systems through the high-performance web server development, NonStopHTTP. I have a knack for automating and streamlining processes, as evidenced by my work in reducing manual effort by 90% and improving deployment efficiency by 25%.

Currently pursuing my Masters in Computer Science at Rutgers University, I am eager to leverage my technical prowess and leadership skills in Software Development Engineer or Software Engineer roles. I am particularly interested in Python and Backend roles where I can further hone my skills and make meaningful contributions.

In my spare time, I enjoy working on innovative projects like MindReader AI and EDDIE, which reflect my passion for leveraging technology to solve real-world problems. I am open to new opportunities and look forward to connecting with professionals and organizations that share my enthusiasm for innovation and excellence in the tech industry.
