Software Developer Engineer with a Master’s in Computer Science from Northeastern University and hands-on experience building scalable backend systems, REST APIs, and microservices. I focus on distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and database performance. Currently building services at Credit Acceptance while continuing to contribute to open-source.
Key Focus
- Go & concurrent services — goroutines, channels, building lexers/REPLs and small backend tools in Go
- Distributed systems — Paxos-style consensus, replication, fault tolerance, Kafka, Kubernetes orchestration
- Backend & APIs — REST, microservices, Micronaut/Django, performance tuning
- Database performance — Oracle/SQL optimization, indexing, execution plans (8s → 500ms wins)
- Applied AI — LangChain, vector DBs, semantic caching as production primitives
- Open source — Flutter Shortcut Widget contributor, builder of small useful tools

Side Projects
A few highlights — see the full list on the Projects page .
Go • Compilers • Lexer • REPL • AST
A minimal compiler written in Go — lexer with a typed token system, an interactive REPL, and an extensible architecture for AST parsing and code generation. Built to understand how programming languages get tokenized, parsed, and evaluated end-to-end.
Java • Paxos • Java RMI • Consensus • Replication
A replicated key-value store implementing the Paxos consensus algorithm with Proposer, Acceptor, and Learner roles. Supports GET/PUT/DELETE across multiple replicas, with simulated acceptor failures to validate fault tolerance.
Java • UDP • TCP • Sockets • Multithreading
A distributed KV store over UDP and TCP, handling 10,000+ pairs with a 98% request success rate, ~5ms average access time, and concurrent client handling via multithreading.
Scala • Spark • Hadoop • MapReduce • AWS EMR
PageRank implemented in both Spark (RDD-based) and Hadoop MapReduce to compare distributed computation paradigms. Runs across standalone, pseudo-distributed, and AWS EMR environments.
C • POSIX • Inodes • Linked Lists
POSIX-compliant file system with inode-based metadata, supporting file creation, deletion, read/write, and directory traversal — written to understand how filesystems lay out and track data on disk.
Python • Raspberry Pi • IoT • REST APIs
Real-time GPS tracking platform built from the hardware layer up through backend APIs, achieving 10-meter location accuracy on constrained hardware.
