OPEN TO SUMMER 2027 INTERNSHIPS

I build backends that don't fall over.

Backend and infrastructure engineer. I ship data pipelines, RESTful services and AI retrieval systems — then I make them observable, reproducible, and deliberately hard to break. Previously JPMorgan Chase, now an MS at CSULB.

Academic Assistant — adaptive RAG pipeline

An LLM system that decides where to look. Queries get routed between vector retrieval over academic policy data and live web search based on intent, then stream back token-by-token over server-sent events with traceable citations. Prompt guardrails detect ambiguity — an unspecified campus triggers a clarifying question instead of a confident wrong answer.

Music genre detection

End-to-end ML pipeline: audio feature extraction, cleaning, training, evaluation — served through a React interface with real-time predictions and a content-based top-5 recommender.

An infrastructure piece

Placeholder. Your strongest signal is infra and reliability — one visibly Terraform/observability project, with a real dashboard screenshot, would make this site match the engineer.

EXPERIENCE

Six services,
zero downtime.

Software Engineer — JPMorgan Chase & Co.

AUG 2023 — DEC 2025

Built RESTful APIs and backend services for enterprise data retrieval, consumed by multiple internal teams. Ran ETL and batch workflows over millions of client records. Owned the release path: Jenkins and GitHub Actions pipelines with Dockerized builds and blue-green deploys across six coordinated services and their AWS infrastructure — provisioned with Terraform so every environment was reproducible and auditable.

Two things I'm proudest of: a Python synthetic data framework that generated thousands of records across 15–20 relational tables with PII masking, so we could test in lower environments without touching production data — and helping start the team's chaos engineering practice with Gremlin, breaking things on purpose to find out what actually survives.
