I graduated from the University of Maryland: College Park in December 2024 with a double major in Computer Science and Finance. My background spans distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, machine learning, and quantitative finance. Previously I've interned at AWS, GEICO, and Capital One. When I'm not coding, you'll find me running, at the gym, or on a heavy bag. I'm also a big reader and an aspiring film buff — catch me on letterboxd.
Experience

Amazon Web Services — S3
2 roles
Working on the S3 Fleet Core Development team to improve redundancy and reliability of S3 storage systems. Built and deployed an AI-powered RAG knowledge base ingesting data from internal wikis, DynamoDB, S3, and AWS Bedrock with MCP integration for intelligent retrieval across distributed enterprise data sources. Developed distributed periodic cache reducing latency for host safety mechanisms by 70%. Onboarded 300,000 new hosts worldwide to automated coordination system for safe deployments, software updates, and firmware upgrades including BMC, BIOS, and HDD components. Managed CI/CD pipelines, CloudWatch alarms, and a robust metrics/logging system; created technical dashboards for historical analysis using AWS Lambda and Athena. Replaced legacy unencrypted protocol with HTTPS-based API served through application load balancers.
Modernized the legacy S3 reservation service into a REST API with OAuth-secured HTTP endpoints. Integrated the new API with Google Guice dependency injection framework. Built a comprehensive integration, unit, and functional test suite using JUnit5 and Mockito to ensure code quality. Successfully deployed the API to production and developed a CLI and Java Client adopted by numerous teams, impacting reservations of millions of S3 hosts across AWS regions.

GEICO
During my internship at GEICO on the Mobile Cloud Integration Tier team, I improved the Mobile Cloud API by migrating endpoints to serverless functions on Azure using C#. I significantly reduced Redis cache latency by 300% and implemented secure callback functionality. I also designed and built an automated diagnostic tool using logistic and linear regression, which improved anomaly detection in production server performance by 15%. Utilized Splunk, Python, and SciKitLearn to manage and analyze API calls on non-production servers.

Capital One
Interned at Capital One's Center for Machine Learning with the Document Intelligence and Vision Engineering team. Built and trained machine learning models using Paddle for object detection on ID documents. Created a Docker image for the team's Paddle model training, published to Artifactory. Developed an end-to-end pipeline using PP-YOLOv2 and PP-YOLOE object detection algorithms achieving 98% accuracy. Utilized Python, Paddle, Docker, AWS S3, and Artifactory.

University of Maryland: Robert H. Smith School of Business
As an intern under Dr. Zhang at the University of Maryland, I addressed efficiency issues in machine learning computations. Developed a machine learning architecture that utilized data parallelism for efficient distributed processing and documented it in a comprehensive research paper. The implementation resulted in a 67% increase in efficiency when training various ML models across four nodes. Worked with Horovod, TensorFlow, AWS DLAMI EC2, and OpenMPI.

Open Water / Medius
As a high school student, recruited from the competitive Open Water talent pool to work for a startup. Developed the back-end REST API for the Medius web application using NodeJS, ExpressJS, and MongoDB Atlas. Deployed and managed the MVP using AWS Route53, EC2, and VPC along with GoDaddy. Enhanced the web application by implementing OAuth integration, ElasticSearch, and filters.
