About Me
I am a Software Engineer at Polaris Wireless, specializing in backend systems and distributed infrastructure. I previously worked as a Software Engineer Co-op at the University of California, Irvine, where I developed automation systems and full-stack applications.
My technical expertise spans Python, Java, and C++, with a strong focus on building scalable APIs, data pipelines, and orchestration tooling. I have experience with technologies like Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, and Kubernetes in enterprise environments.
I am also passionate about AI and Machine Learning. As an Undergraduate Researcher at the He Lab, I architected deep learning pipelines for scientific applications. I enjoy working on projects that bridge the gap between complex infrastructure and intelligent systems.
Beyond coding, I am an active community leader, having served as President of the Indian Subcontinental Club and contributed to organizations like ICSSC and Legacy Robotics.
