Experience
- AI Engineering InternOctober 2025 - Present
- Founding EngineerJune 2025 - August 2025
- Built a cross-platform AI automation framework that enables users to schedule, chain, and run autonomous agents across OS-level (FastAPI + Claude Computer-use) and browser-level (Playwright + Docker) environments with persistent memory
- Architected a distributed backend using Redis, QStash, and SQL, enabling stateful memory of agent via LangGraph
- Designed real-time infrastructure via WebSocket + Redis pub/sub, shipping the platform to 230+ beta users within 4 weeks
- Founding EngineerJanuary 2025 - June 2025
- Built a serverless NestJS backend with AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, enabling scalable agentic workflows
- Deployed a distributed task orchestration system with Redis and BullMQ, supporting concurrent job execution of agents
- Built CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and Terraform, leveraging Docker to streamline deployments to 200+ users
- Software Engineering InternJanuary 2025 - March 2025
- Developed an orchestrator system delegating user queries to concurrent AI agents, simulating distributed decision-making
- Integrated DALL-E for image generation in AI-powered hint features, transforming educational content into interactive activities
- DevOps Engineering InternOctober 2024 – December 2024
- Implemented Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices with Terraform to manage AWS resources, including EC2, S3, and RDS
- Monitored real-time system performance using Datadog and AWS CloudWatch, applying alert-driven DevOps workflows
- Provisioned a self-hosted Jenkins cluster with autoscaling EC2 agents and S3 artifact storage, reducing build times by 40%
- Collaborated in an Agile team environment using Git for version control, driving iterative development and CI/CD practices
- Software Engineering InternAugust 2024 - October 2024
- Implemented APIs and UIs for a no-code Workflow Automation platform leveraging Nextjs, Fastapi, and PostgresQL
- Designed integrations with OpenAI, Slack, Discord, Notion, Airtable, and Google Drive to automate notifications, custom messaging, and database entry creation, enhancing cross-platform connectivity, reducing manual human effort by 80%
Projects
- Base (Low-Level Database Engine)
- Built an SQL-like database in C with custom heap allocator, memory-mapped file storage, and page-based virtual memory
- Designed and implemented B-Tree indexing to enable logarithmic search complexity and fast lookups across file-backed storage
- Engineered a file I/O system using `mmap`, `open`, and `write` syscalls, manually serializing/deserializing row data
- Created a custom heap allocator with pointer arithmetic, record slot management, and dynamic memory reuse across pages
- Pulse (Limit Order Book)
- Implemented limit order book supporting FIFO/pro‑rata matching in C++ using custom price-level queues and hash maps
- Designed structures enabling near‑constant lookup/insertion; profiled with gperftools, achieving ~1M orders/sec
- Simulated HFT scenarios including spoofing and iceberg orders; generated time-series features for downstream analytics
- Pilot (Multi‑Factor Backtester)
- Built a vectorized backtester over 10+ years of equity data using pandas/NumPy, with dynamic rebalancing and position sizing
- Integrated WebSocket price feeds from Polygon and Alpaca, added transaction‑cost modeling to simulate production conditions
- Employed Bayesian hyperparameter tuning with Optuna to optimize Sharpe ratio across differing market regimes
- Tick (Ticker Aggregation Engine)
- Built a data aggregator to ingest market tick data from IEX and Polygon, handling over 1M ticks/sec using Kafka pipelines
- Instrumented with Prometheus + Grafana, tracking ingestion rate, latency percentiles, and cache hit ratios under simulated load
- Used Redis to implement low-latency caching for tick snapshots and last-trade data, exposed via WebSocket and HTTP APIs
