My Story
I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Capital One, where I architect AI/ML-powered, cloud-native applications that process millions of daily transactions. With a Master's degree in Computer Science from UT Austin and a dual Bachelor's in CS and Mathematics from Purdue, I bring both theoretical depth and practical expertise to every project.
My career spans the full spectrum of modern software engineering—from mentoring others Linux and Kubernetes at Red Hat Academy, to building ML-based insights for enterprise Kubernetes platforms at D2iQ, to my current role developing scalable systems, high-volume ETL pipelines, and real-time APIs in financial services. I've contributed to open-source healthcare projects like ChRIS, and built everything from credit risk scoring systems to AI chatbots.
I specialize in the intersection of artificial intelligence, distributed systems, and cloud-native architecture. Whether it's designing ML pipelines, optimizing Kubernetes deployments, or building high-throughput APIs, I love solving complex technical challenges that have real-world impact.
