ABOUT ME

Engineering scalable systems from backend architecture to intelligent user experiences.

I'm a Full Stack Software Engineer with 4 years of experience building REST APIs, microservices, distributed systems, and cloud-native applications.

My experience spans Java, Spring Boot, Spring WebFlux, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Kafka, and Kubernetes. I focus on designing secure, reliable systems and integrating backend services with modern interfaces.

I have also worked with AI-enabled engineering approaches involving Agentic AI, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), Model Context Protocol (MCP), and tool calling.

I earned my Master of Science in Information Systems from Central Michigan University in May 2026.

4 Years of Experience
3 Enterprise Client Engagements at TCS
