I'm a Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience at Cisco and a background in Computer Science at NC State University. My work centers on scalable backend systems, object-oriented design, and practical automation, with C/C++ and Python as my core languages.

I enjoy building software that connects reliable backend services with useful applications, from enterprise microservices and data processing to AI-assisted planning, event-driven automation, and IoT systems.

• Backend Engineering & Distributed Systems
• AI-Assisted Applications & Workflow Automation
• Object-Oriented Design & System Optimization
• Reliable APIs, Test-Driven Development & Cloud Services

• Built a Next.js, TypeScript, and FastAPI application that turns Confluence requirements and Jira delivery history into proposed sprint stories.
• Combined OpenAI-generated requirements and embeddings with deterministic Python estimates and capacity-aware assignments, with human review before ticket creation.

• Built a sports analytics application that finds football matches with a similar statistical story to a cricket match using Cricsheet and StatsBomb data.
• Used Python, FastAPI, SQLite, and JavaScript for match search and explainable comparisons based on result closeness, individual contribution, and late attacking activity.

• Built a Python daemon that processes Gmail notifications through Google Cloud Pub/Sub and organizes job-related emails into application, interview, recruiter, and other labels.
• Combined subject rules with local LLM inference through LM Studio, using SQLite for durable work queues, Pydantic validation, and retries for provider failures.

• Connected Raspberry Pi cameras and distance sensors, AWS Lambda predictions, and two iOS applications over MQTT to monitor parking availability.
• Added a verification flow that flags disagreements between sensor readings and image predictions for review in the controller app.

• Collaborated on a React, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB application for discovering recipes by ingredients and cuisine, with recipe creation and personal bookmarks.
• The project integrates Auth0 sign-in, an OpenAI-powered recipe assistant, and API testing with Jest, Chai, and Supertest.
