Software Developer
Cavaro.io – Self Initiated
• Designed and deployed a SaaS platform for real-time cloud solutions using Python, React, PostgreSQL, Docker, and AWS (S3, Lambda, RDS, Route 53); handled full-stack development and AWS infrastructure.
• Collaborated with early users to develop scalable backend services with real-time collaboration features using WebSockets and PostgreSQL transaction isolation to ensure multi-user consistency without data loss.
• Utilized Lambda for low-latency global access and more than 99% uptime, supporting 50+ daily active users post-MVP launch.
• Containerized backend and frontend using Docker and implemented IaC for deployment via Terraform and GitHub Actions, allowing automated builds and multi-environment rollouts.
Software Engineer - GTA
George Mason University
• Collaborated and mentored 35+ AI/ML teams through end-to-end product cycles, streamlining multi-cloud migrations on AWS and GCP; provided technical guidance on backend and frontend development, cloud architecture, and debugging.
• Built reusable infrastructure modules and CI/CD pipelines with Terraform & Jenkins to automate cloud environment setup and deployments, reducing cloud provisioning time by 30%.
• Used log tracing and test automation (Python, Selenium, Pytest) to identify and fix bugs in over 50 microservices, improving project reliability and reducing support overhead by 35%.
Backend Software Engineer Intern
Verzeo
• Developed and integrated backend services for an NLP-based customer support platform using Python, Docker, and REST APIs; worked on model integration and production deployment with 30+ production commits.
• Diagnosed production issues using API logs and debug tools & automated testing in agile development cycles. Supported API integration and microservices development for systems interfacing with enterprise decisioning platforms.
• Streamlined deployment workflows by containerizing Python microservice with Docker, accelerating release with CI pipelines.
