About Me

I am a passionate Software Engineer with a Master's degree in Software Engineering from Arizona State University and a solid foundation in building scalable backend systems. Currently, I work as a Backend Software Engineer at Pinhous, where I design and implement robust solutions that enhance system performance and reduce costs.

My expertise includes a range of technologies such as Java, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS, and various CI/CD tools. I thrive on challenges, as evidenced by my experience in developing high-throughput data processing systems using Kafka and optimizing API response times through innovative architectures.

In addition to my professional experience, I've successfully led projects like the Artnbuff Shopping Mobile App, where I implemented a recommendation algorithm that increased online sales by 15% within the first month. I also excel in academic environments, having achieved a top prize at the Smart India Hackathon for my work on a student support system.

I am always eager to learn and grow, whether through new technologies or innovative approaches to problem-solving. Let's connect to explore opportunities in software engineering and tech innovation!
