I'm an MS in Computer Science graduate from Northeastern University, Boston. With a consultant's mindset, I focus on solving complex business challenges through strategic thinking and scalable solutions-where code is a tool, not the goal. My approach is driven by outcomes, ensuring that every solution aligns with broader business objectives.
-
Cloud Media Pipeline: Serverless, event-driven media pipeline on AWS. A React + Vite frontend uploads images directly to S3 via pre-signed URLs; S3 events trigger a Python Lambda that runs FFmpeg (via Lambda Layer) to encode an H.264
.mp4, which is served globally through CloudFront. Built entirely within the AWS Free Tier using API Gateway, two isolated S3 buckets, and a 1 GB / 300 s Lambda configuration tuned for FFmpeg throughput. -

-
Rate Limiter: Redis-backed rate limiting API using the token bucket algorithm. allows bursts, enforces steady-state limits, and returns retry-after when blocked. Built with FastAPI, deployed on AWS EC2, visualized with a live Streamlit dashboard, and load tested with Locust at ~300 RPS across 100 concurrent users.
