Computer Science undergraduate (Class of 2028) who builds complete, production-style applications rather than tutorial clones — with a growing focus on backend engineering, system design, and deployment. Core stack is Java, JavaScript, and the MERN ecosystem, and I care as much about how something ships as how it's built.

Backend engineering is where I want to go deep — designing systems that hold up at real scale, not just demo scale. Right now that means strengthening system design, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps, while keeping AI engineering on the table as I figure out my long-term specialization. The goal isn't a job title — it's becoming an engineer whose work justifies a seat at a team known for strong engineering standards.
