About me
I'm a software engineer with over 4 years of experience, currently pursuing my MS in Computer Science at the University of Washington (graduating June 2026).
My journey has given me a deep understanding of the full product lifecycle, from building products from the ground up to engineering systems for massive scale. As a Founding Engineer, I led end-to-end mobile architecture for an NHS-partnered healthcare product and designed on-device ML pipelines for real-time exercise analysis. Later, at Junglee Games, I owned high-throughput client-side payment flows and core product systems supporting an 80M+ user gaming platform, where I honed high-performance engineering in complex, live environments.
