I am a Honors Computer Science student at the University of Washington (Expected June 2028) focused on building software that interfaces with the physical world—from autonomous robotics to large-scale astrophysical data pipelines.
✨ "Aspire to Inspire" — Bridging the gap between complex data, real-world application, and high-stakes performance.
- Languages: Java, Python, C++, C, JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL (Postgres), HTML/CSS, R, Go, Rust, Matlab, Swift, Assembly.
- AI & Data Science: PyTorch, Scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy, OpenCV, Titan Embeddings, Matplotlib, Seaborn, CatBoost, LangChain.
- Cloud & DevOps: AWS (Bedrock, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, OpenSearch), Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, Git, GitLab CI/CD Apache Spark, Apache Kafka, gRPC, GraphQL, Socket.io.
- Databases: PostresSQL, Redis, DyanmoDB, OpenSearch, Pinecone
- Frameworks & Tools: React, Angular, Next.js, Node.js, Express.js, FastAPI, Spring Boot.
- 🧠 AI/ML & Computer Vision: Architected ML pipelines for the UW Gravitational Wave Astronomy Group to map Milky Way gas structures, improving pulsar distance accuracy by 20%. I also deployed SAM 2 for autonomous underwater navigation, boosting detection in murky environments.
- 🤖 Robotics & Systems: Specialized in low-level software-hardware interfaces, including implementing C++ star-identification algorithms for the Husky Satellite Lab. I also engineered PID-controlled stability systems for award-winning underwater ROVs.
- ☁️ Scalable Engineering: Developed Seekr, a serverless web app using AWS Bedrock and Titan Embeddings to automate research discovery for 300+ students.
- 👥 Mentor: Guided 20 students in ML RFI classification via a 1,000+ sample pipeline.
- 🏆 Innovator: 2025 MATE ROV Sharkpedo Innovation Award winner and 4th place internationally at DubsTech HealthML Hackathon.
I am currently seeking Software Engineering, AI/ML, or Robotics internships where I can apply my experience in deep learning and systems programming to build impactful, scalable technology.
