About Me

I'm a fourth-year CS student at the University of Texas at Dallas, graduating May 2026. I specialize in solving the unglamorous problems that make teams 10x faster - think intelligent log analysis, bulletproof CI/CD pipelines, test automation that actually works, and AI-powered query generation.

At Apple, I built LLM-powered tooling for the Camera & Photos team, automated thousands of test failures with smart triage systems, and designed cloud workflows that ship fast and break nothing. I balance velocity with reliability, security with usability, and always prioritize crystal-clear communication.
