About Me

I am a software engineer with three years of experience building full stack applications, backend services, and ML systems. Completed my Master's in Computer Science at NYU.

I have worked at startups and unicorns deploying production systems using TypeScript, Node.js, Python, and C++. I enjoy building things that solve real problems and contributing to open source projects.

⚡ Fun fact — Music with code is love.
