05 / About

A little more about me

I’m a Computer Science student at NJIT focused on backend engineering, distributed systems, and cloud-backed software.

I like working on systems where reliability, data boundaries, deployment, and performance matter. Outside engineering, I’m usually hiking or traveling.

I’m targeting Summer 2027 software and backend internships and 2027 new-grad SWE roles, with longer-term interest in cloud and application solutions architecture.
