Junior Software Engineer @ UT Dallas ('26). 2× Apple intern crafting AI-powered tooling, scalable backend systems, and developer productivity tools that actually ship.

02 / about who i am
// process inforyan.service

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 10× faster — 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 prioritize crystal-clear communication.
