<h3>Who I Am</h3>
<p>
I'm a senior at UC Berkeley studying Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, expecting to graduate in December 2025. My journey in tech has been driven by a deep passion for creating innovative solutions that make a real impact.
</p>
<p>
Most recently, I completed a Software R&D Engineering internship at Amazon Web Services (AWS) where I led the migration of search infrastructure from ElasticSearch to OpenSearch, consolidating dual-cluster architecture and reducing operational overhead by 50%. I developed Python and AWS Lambda data migration scripts to backfill search indices across regions, implementing feature flags for controlled rollout.
</p>
<p>
Beyond coding, I believe in continuous learning and the power of technology to transform lives. As a Tiger Woods Scholar and UC Berkeley CS Scholar, I'm committed to excellence in everything I do, combining technical expertise with a passion for creating innovative solutions that make a real impact on society.
