I enjoy building software and systems that are usable, performant and extensible. Currently, I'm working towards a Masters degree in Computer Science at the University of Southern California. Through my Masters degree I want to gain insights into the process of building and analyzing large software. I plan to achieve this by taking advanced coursework in operating systems, distributed systems, algorithms and software engineering.
Prior to starting my Masters degree, I worked as a software engineer at Deskera building full-stack web applications. At Deskera, our stack consisted of React, Javascript, Java, Go, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes and Kafka. During the 1 year I spent there, I got to play around with each part of the stack.
As an undergraduate, I was heavily involved in academic research. Understanding software and systems in academia played a crucial role in my education. My academic publications can be found on my Google Scholar profile.
Outside of school and work, I enjoy building open-source software. I have contributed to some cool projects such as DPDK (networking), OpenNetVM (networking) and GNU Wget2 (command line tool). Most of these contributions can be found on my GitHub profile.
