software engineer

I build backend systems and production software.

Systems Engineering student at McMaster focused on backend, infrastructure, and platform-oriented software. I like projects with real constraints: concurrency, networking, data pipelines, CI/CD, and systems that need to behave clearly under load.

flagship project

TCP Load Balancer

A C++17 load balancer using epoll, persistent TCP connections, round robin, and least-connections routing.

selected projects

A small set of projects with clear technical depth.

These are the projects that best show how I build, what I optimize for, and the types of systems work I want to keep doing.

01 / assistive computer vision
GitHubView demo

BlindSpot

A navigation assistant for visually impaired users needs to combine perception, guidance, and responsiveness without overwhelming the user.

Built a real-time accessibility product that combined mobile UX, computer vision, voice interaction, and live communication workflows into one assistive flow.

technical challenge

Coordinating obstacle detection, live context, and low-latency voice guidance in one mobile experience while keeping the interaction understandable under motion.

02 / AI agent • devops

CI/CD Failure Triage Agent

Debugging CI/CD pipeline failures manually is slow — engineers context-switch into logs, trace root causes, and repeat the same diagnosis steps across runs.

Built an AI-powered triage agent that ingests pipeline failure logs, identifies root causes, and surfaces actionable fixes — reducing time-to-resolution for broken builds.

technical challenge

Structuring the agent's reasoning so it distinguishes transient failures from genuine breakages and produces concise, actionable output rather than noisy log dumps.

outcome: automated triage

about / skills

Systems-oriented software engineering with a backend focus.

I study Automation and Systems Engineering at McMaster, and I position myself as a software engineer who thinks in control flow, failure modes, interfaces, and operational constraints.

My recent work spans Python ETL pipelines, backend and infrastructure workflows across MERN, Azure and AWS, and systems-level C++ networking work built around concurrency and performance.

Languages
Python, C++, JavaScript, TypeScript, SQL, Swift
Backend
