> MSCS @ Santa Clara. Still recovering.Things I've made do what I want:
- 🕹️ A Go/Envoy xDS control plane (it routes, I rejoice)
- 🌊 Kafka CDC pipelines moving data for ~500K humans who'll never know
- ⚡ Redis caches so fast they finish before you ask
- 🤖 LLM/agentic systems @ Soopra.ai (taught robots to talk, slightly regret it)
Currently: writing an order-matching engine in my free time, because relaxing is for people with simpler hobbies.
Also currently: maintaining a job scraper that hits 6 ATS platforms every 2 hours so I don't have to. It works harder than I do.
