About
Hello 👋. I’m a professional software engineer @ Amazon.
I focus on improving system reliability, application security, and developer efficiency. My recent work includes developing a first-responder AI agent for Amazon on-calls and fixing application security vulnerabilities.
Previously, I was a full-stack software developer @ Visier. I built interactive dataflow visualizations to provide users a clear understanding of their data’s journey and I developed HCM data connectors to automate data onboarding. In this role, I delivered impactful feature demos and mentored new engineers.
Outside of work, I enjoy tinkering with different kinds of software and learning new things. You can find some of my works listed here. Feel free to connect! I’m always up for discussions about productivity tools, computer graphics, and Linux ricing (I use Arch and Neovim btw).
