Experience
Instabase
I work on the core platform, enabling users to automate information extraction from critical business documents. To support this goal, I have led multiple projects including the delivery of mission critical features. I have also gone above and beyond by analyzing usage of our platform, creating dashboards, and adding better observability into our product.
Facebook / Meta
As a software engineer, I worked on Public Groups on Facebook in an effort to increase participation and engagement. As a part of this, I led multiple projects to support growth, engagement, and authentic participation with results that informed the roadmap and how we want to best recieve our customers.
University of Illinois Computer Science Department
After taking computer architecture, I worked with Professor Fletcher to create rubrics for assignments and grade them.
Facebook / Meta
As a software engineering intern, I developed a system which would improve the social graph by allowing users to be matched to others who have their email address etc.
Amazon Lab126
As an SDE Intern, I designed how a backend service and frontend should interact. Then I used Java to implement and test the APIs which would aggregate data from different services. Then I used React.js, in combination with the Leaflet.js library, to build a highly intuitive and customizable tool for developers to use and get a view of the full picture of the data.
SRI International
As an Information of Technology intern, I was tasked with deploying/installing complex software around the company and documenting processes to fix computers. One such operation was recovering the data in a Windows machine of which the owner had lost his password. I was able to successfully bypass the login mechanism, thereby saving the critical data on the machine. Then I was asked to document the process for future reference. In addition, I attended phone support lines to help employees with technical issues they were facing.

Interests
When I am not working on code, I spend time working on math problems. I truly enjoy spending time working to find how to simplify a problem.
When forced outdoors though, I like to go running, socialize, or eating.
