Software Engineer

Hi, I'm a software engineer with a B.S. in Computer Science and experience in data management, databases, and full-stack web development.

At Columbia University, I supported a major fundraising campaign through data quality, platform maintenance, and reporting.

I'm currently strengthening my foundation in data structures and algorithms.

Projects

Academic Affiliated Name Match

Built preemptive deduplication workflows for admissions cycles at an Ivy League university, scoring records across eight dimensions (name, gender, age, employer, email, address, spouse, degree) to prevent duplicates in a 5M+ record database. Developed PL/SQL views, reports, and BI dashboards, using CSVs and spreadsheets for both automated and manual data review.

DSA & Interview Prep Tracker

Structured study plan built around MIT 6.006, CLRS 4th Edition, and LeetCode. A CS refresher for technical interview preparation.

DevTools Cheat Sheet

Single-page reference for a terminal-centric dev environment built around Zsh, Tmux, and Neovim. Documents my dotfiles setup.

Fusion Manaba

Full-stack TypeScript e-commerce platform for home-baked goods. Built with Next.js, Prisma, and PostgreSQL.

Client/Server Chat System

Multithreaded chat application built over TCP/IP using Linux sockets. Handles persistent connections, message parsing, and data transmission with JUnit tests.

Global Economic Impact Analysis

Data visualizations connecting global events to economic trends. Built as a data science capstone at Montclair State University.

Linear Algebra Graphics

Automotive design case studies applying matrix transformations, animation, and geometric operations to model and visualize 3D structures in Python.

About

I'm a software engineer based in New Jersey and New York with a B.S. in Computer Science and a background in data management, databases, and full-stack web development.

At Columbia University, I supported data quality, reporting, and system maintenance for a platform serving 5M+ alumni, donors, and organizations, and contributed to BI efforts for a $5.48B fundraising campaign.

Now, I'm building projects in C/C++, Python, and JavaScript while sharpening my skills in data structures and algorithms.
