I design and ship distributed systems, APIs, and cloud infrastructure — with the frontend polish to deliver complete products end to end.

About

Building systems that scale

Full-stack engineer with depth in distributed systems, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.

I'm an MS Computer Science student at the University of Houston who builds production systems across the stack — from Kafka pipelines and Spring Boot services to React dashboards and cloud deployments on AWS.

My recent work includes a metal additive manufacturing Digital Twin on AWS, a distributed trading engine processing 1,000+ events per second, and RAG platforms serving 500+ requests per second on Lambda.

I care about reliability, observability, and clean interfaces. Whether it's gRPC microservices, Terraform infrastructure, or a Next.js client, I aim to ship software that teams can run and extend.
