I am a Software Engineer passionate about building scalable software that solves real-world problems. Currently pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science at Georgia Tech and working as a Software Engineering Intern at IBM, I continue to expand my expertise across software engineering, artificial intelligence, robotics, and full-stack development.

My experience includes designing and developing enterprise software, full-stack web applications, RESTful APIs, automation tools, and AI-driven solutions. I have worked with technologies including Java, Python, C++, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Express.js, MySQL, MongoDB, Git, and GitHub, with a strong focus on writing clean, maintainable, and scalable code.

Beyond software development, I am passionate about artificial intelligence and robotics. I previously conducted robotics research at the University of Houston-Downtown and mentored high school students in computer science and robotics, helping them strengthen their technical knowledge and problem-solving abilities. I enjoy continuously learning new technologies, collaborating with talented teams, and building software that creates meaningful impact.


Experience

Software Engineering Intern

IBM

Contribute to the development of enterprise software solutions within IBM's software engineering organization, collaborating with engineers to design tools that improve developer productivity and enhance software quality. Develop Flow Service Language (FSL) code examples and technical resources for IBM webMethods Integration Server, helping customers better understand enterprise integration and automation workflows.

Design and implement an automated flaky test analysis tool that helps developers identify, reproduce, and diagnose intermittent failures in GitHub Actions workflows. The project aims to reduce debugging time, improve CI/CD reliability, and streamline the software development process through automation and intelligent error analysis.

Work in an Agile development environment while applying software engineering best practices, including version control, code reviews, testing, and collaborative problem-solving to deliver scalable and maintainable solutions.
