Biography

I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science at Texas A&M University (Class of 2026) and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering. Most recently, I was a Software Engineering Intern at Snowflake, where I worked on core multi-cluster control plane infrastructure. My work focused on building quota-aware capacity and placement systems, designing safe, observable migrations from cluster-local configuration to centrally managed policy, and developing idempotent, dependency-aware orchestration frameworks for large-scale operational workflows. Previously, I worked as an Analyst at Deutsche Bank, developing Java/Spring Boot microservices and gaining experience with containerized deployments, Kubernetes, and CI/CD automation. I am particularly interested in distributed systems and cloud infrastructure, and enjoy connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to collaborate or exchange ideas.
