Biography

I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science at Texas A&M University (Batch of 2026). I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering. In between, I worked as an Analyst at Deutsche Bank, where I played a key role in designing, developing, and maintaining microservices using Java and Spring Boot. My responsibilities included optimizing application performance, ensuring product stability, and collaborating across teams to deliver scalable solutions. Additionally, I gained extensive hands-on experience with DevOps tools such as Kubernetes and Docker, which significantly enhanced my skills in automating deployment pipelines and managing cloud infrastructure. Looking ahead, I aspire to deepen my knowledge of distributed systems and explore their potential in building resilient and scalable architectures. Beyond my technical pursuits, I enjoy connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. Feel free to connect with me if you're interested in collaborating on a project or simply exchanging ideas—I'm always excited to meet like-minded individuals!
