Software Engineer candidate in Pleasanton, California, United States

Summary

I hold a recent degree in Computer Science and Game Design from the University of California, Santa Cruz (July 2023), bolstered by a Full Stack Intensive Software Engineering Bootcamp (2020). My focus areas encompass Software Engineering, Security, Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence, Networking, and Data Structures. Currently, I am on track to take the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Exam in September 2023, reflecting my commitment to cybersecurity.

As a Software Engineering Intern at NetScout Systems Inc, San Jose, I played a pivotal role in enhancing the Omnis Cyber Intelligence Platform for Advanced Network Threat Detection and Response. I crafted Java-based logic to detect diverse attacks and integrated features like email notifications and alerts, all of which were instrumental in enriching the Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) capabilities of the platform. This was achieved using Java, IntelliJ, Jenkins, Jira, and Bitbucket. My contributions spanned feature specifications, patch releases, testing, and bug-fixing, culminating in impactful code integrated into the final product.

My prior internship at NetScout Systems Inc showcased my ability to develop and integrate complex solutions. I designed a custom REST API, backed by Django REST Framework (DRF) and Python, to automate QA testing and generate test reports for nG1 and Omnis Cyber Investigator products. This solution integrated seamlessly into a Selenium-based automation product and production systems.

My expertise extends beyond the workplace into successful hackathon ventures. At Bon Voyage Hacks II, my team won the "Best Use of DeSo Blockchain" award for Travel Timean innovative app transforming travel planning through sentiment analysis and Google Maps integration. Coastal Hacks 2022 saw us secure another "Best Use of DeSo Blockchain" award for a pollution-mitigating app with group cleanup features. The "Dream Big Award" at LateNightHacks 2022 celebrated our MERN app fostering social awareness, offering secure password-less login and user interaction capabilities. Our project at TOHacks2022 International Hackathon earned the "Best Web Monetization Project" accolade, showcasing my proficiency in full-stack development.

With a strong grasp of languages, tools, and frameworks including Java, JavaScript, Python, Django, React, and more, I'm poised for an entry-level role where I can contribute effectively within a collaborative team environment. My track record underscores my commitment to innovative application development and cybersecurity, making me an asset to any dynamic team.

Expectations

In a software engineering role, I look forward to leveraging my strong technical foundation and problem-solving skills to contribute meaningfully to your team. I aim to collaborate with fellow engineers and stakeholders to develop innovative software solutions that address real-world challenges.
