Building reliable software
for real-world systems

I'm a Computer Science student at Virginia Tech with a focus on backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems. I care about writing software that's reliable, observable, and built to scale.

My work spans from designing Spring Boot services deployed on AWS to building event-driven architectures that handle high-concurrency workloads. I'm drawn to hard problems, the kind where you need to think carefully about state, failure modes, and system boundaries.
