I interned at Amazon the past summer as an SDE Intern, where I worked on developing a full-stack internal web application to visualize and manage API monitoring configurations for the MCCF team.

• Designed backend services and data models using AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and Rest APIs
• Implemented frontend components in React and Typescript to support real-time configuration updates
• Improved reliability and maintainability of internal tooling supporting large-scale services
• Monitoring Configuration dashboard supported 20+ internal teams

• Won competitive AI hackathon with team by building an eligibility checker, dashboard, and guide functionality to address the equity gap in government assistance program access
• Designed and implemented an end-to-end RAG pipeline using the Claude API to deliver accurate, context-grounded eligibility determinations from complex government policy documents -CodeRepo

• Working on independent research project on international policy and actions for quantum computing under the guidance of Dr. Jessica Beyer

• Engineering high-performance C++ algorithms for autonomous star identification on a CubeSat
• Focused on memory management and computational efficiency to ensure reliable navigation within the strict hardware constraints of a satellite’s embedded system

I designed and built a secure full-stack application supporting authentication, data persistence, and analytics with my team.

• I implemented backend APIs using Node.js and MongoDB
• I deployed the application using Azure, focusing on data integrity and secure access
• CodeRepo

• Identified and remediated authorization and access-control vulnerabilities in a PHP web application
• Implemented RBAC (role based access control) and secure session handling
• Validated fixes using Docker, Loggly, OpenSSL, and security testing tools
• Implemented a robust Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model and secure session handling, validated through rigorous testing with Docker and Loggly to ensure zero unauthorized data leaks

• Languages: Java, Kotlin, C++, Python, Typescript, Javascript, Bash
• Backend & Systems: REST APIs, Authentication & Authorization, Data Structures, Object-Oriented Design
• Cloud & DevOps: AWS(Lambda, DynamoDB), Docker, Azure, Linux
• Frameworks & Tools: React, Node.js, MongoDB, Git, Loggly
• Security & Observability: RBAC, Secure Sessions, Logging, Monitoring
