Summary

I am a systems-focused software engineer and graduate researcher with experience in backend development, cloud-native architectures, and operating system performance. In my 3+ years of professional experience, Ive built secure, high-performance API platforms with low-latency guarantees, led major cloud migration efforts, and resolved critical security issues under tight deadlines. My work resulted in measurable improvements in efficiency, scalability, and engineering velocity. I have driven major security hardening initiatives, resolved urgent vulnerabilities on tight timelines, and implemented architectural improvements that strengthened system resilience and reliability.

My academic work centers on eBPF-driven workload profiling and adaptive scheduling using modern Linux kernel frameworks, where I design low-overhead, real-time system profilers and scheduling strategies. I have also developed a highly compact custom Linux-based OS and conducted security research uncovering vulnerabilities in WebAssembly toolchains. My technical strengths span C, C++, Java, Python, distributed systems, Kubernetes, and systems optimization.

Overall, I am driven by solving challenging engineering problems across systems, performance, and security. My work reflects a combination of research depth, production experience, and a passion for advancing modern computing systems.

Expectations

Im looking for opportunities where I can design and build reliable, scalable backend or systems-level components, solve complex technical problems, and work in an environment that values engineering depth, mentorship, and continuous learning.

I expect to join a team where I can contribute meaningfully from day one, and value clear communication, ownership, and a culture that supports innovation and long-term career growth.
