About
With a robust foundation in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley, and advanced engineering expertise from Cornell Tech, I have carved a dynamic career in software engineering. My journey began at Amazon, where I contributed to the Alexa Information Team, enhancing Alexa's knowledge capabilities. I then advanced to Amazon Web Services, where I led UI development and launched innovative features for AI and database services. My tenure at Instagram involved backend development, focusing on product and platform monetization. Currently, I am contributing to Threads, where I engage in both backend and frontend development projects. My technical skills include Java, PySpark, React, and TypeScript, and I have a proven track record of leading engineering excellence initiatives. My work is driven by a passion for developing cutting-edge technology solutions that enhance user experiences and drive business growth.
