Full Stack Engineer | API Specialist
A graduate of the University of Michigan College of Engineering with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering, majoring in Computer Science, I have developed a robust foundation in software engineering. Recently, I worked as a Full Stack Software Engineer at SLB, where I focused on enhancing scalability and security through microservices and automation. My experience included designing a new firewall service and implementing REST API endpoints. Previously, I also served as a Senior Software Development Intern at Desai Accelerator, where I optimized cross-platform applications and integrated backend services. I also gained valuable experience as a Software Engineer Intern at ISS, contributing to software development projects. Additionally, I provided tutoring services for EECS 280, assisting students in mastering programming concepts. My diverse experience across different roles has equipped me with skills in API development, automation, and cross-functional collaboration.
