Software Engineer focused on backend infrastructure, distributed systems, and real-time data pipelines. Previously built production monitoring systems at Tesla's Manufacturing Solutions Engineering team. Currently finishing my M.Eng in Software Engineering at the University of Maryland.

• Built real-time device status monitoring for 400+ network devices across 4 global manufacturing sites (Austin, Fremont, New York, Berlin) — reduced status update latency from 4–5 minutes to under 10 seconds
• Designed centralized PostgreSQL token manager with async locks, eliminating daily production authentication failures (5–10 401 errors/day → zero over 3 months)
• Built distributed telemetry collection system processing 660+ metric values/second across 22 devices via Kafka pipeline into ClickHouse
• Reduced dashboard chart load time from 12.8s → 2.6s by migrating frontend aggregation to tiered backend strategy

• Built full-stack client portfolio dashboard using React, Flask, and DynamoDB for real-time visualization of 500+ client portfolios
• Engineered real-time stock monitoring feature using yfinance, processing market data for 1,000+ stocks daily

• Automated dependency setup for 100+ systems during Windows-to-Linux migration using Docker — cut workspace setup time from 4 sprints to 2
• Managed log4j to log4j2 migration addressing critical security vulnerabilities — eliminated redundant loggers, reducing log file size by 40%
• Led migration of legacy components from EJB to Spring Framework, improving maintainability and reducing coupling
• Conducted technical research for Payara-to-Jetty deployment migration evaluating performance, scalability, and compatibility
