I'm a first-generation, international graduate student pursuing a Master's in Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Washington Bothell (GPA 3.83/4.0, expected May 2027), with over 1.5 years of production software engineering experience across backend systems, full-stack development, and secure integration architecture. I'm currently a Software Engineer Intern at Ravenna, an AI-powered internal service desk startup, where I own end-to-end integration builds and help harden the systems our customers rely on. In parallel, I'm a Production Engineering Fellow through Meta and Major League Hacking, selected from a 2% acceptance pool. Before graduate school, I spent over a year as a Software Design Engineer at Schneider Electric R&D in Bengaluru, where I worked across license validation systems, data access architecture, and internal dashboards used by teams across the company. I'm the first person in my family to finish high school and the first to study in the US, and that path has shaped how I think about my work: not as something I earned alone, but as something I want to keep opening up for others. Long-term, I want to grow into a software engineer who builds reliable, large-scale systems people can trust, while staying involved in the kind of mentorship that got me here in the first place.
