About

I’m a software engineer who enjoys building systems that actually work in the real world, not just in demos. I’ve worked across full-stack development, cloud, DevOps, and test automation, contributing to open-source and production platforms through programs like Google Summer of Code and Code for GovTech. These experiences taught me how serious engineering teams build and maintain scalable systems. I’ve spent much of my time improving developer tools, designing automation frameworks, and shipping reliable applications. I care about clean code, strong system design, and fixing problems at the root instead of applying quick patches. I’m driven by how great products are engineered behind the scenes and how small decisions impact performance and users at scale. I’m comfortable working with global teams, adapting fast, and taking ownership. I’m looking for opportunities to build meaningful products with people who take engineering seriously.

Work experience

Creator/ Maintainer at DevCard, Jan 2026 - Present · 8 mos, Remote

Software Engineer at Upwork, Jan 2025 - Present · 1 yr 8 mos

Open Source Developer at Code for GovTech (C4GT), May 2025 - Oct 2025 · 6 mos, Remote, Contributed to a prototype of Financial Agent, an offline-first AI assistant designed to guide users through financial processes like loan applications and KYC, built for people with limited connectivity, limited literacy, or limited comfort with English. My contributions focused on the local LLM processing pipeline, multilingual support, P2P caching for low-bandwidth scenarios, OCR for document handling, and BrowserUse-based workflow automation. The stack used small language models (SLMs) to keep everything on-device and privacy-preserving. It was prototype-stage work, but the constraints we designed around, offline-first, multilingual, low-literacy users, made it one of the more thoughtful engineering problems I've worked on.

Open Source Developer at Google Summer of Code, May 2025 - Oct 2025 · 6 mos, Remote, Built CommitHunter as part of GSoC 2025 at Eclipse Adoptium, a prototype tool that automates the identification of test-breaking Git commits, reducing the need for manual bisection when CI pipelines fail. The prototype combines rule-based heuristics with ML models that analyze commit patterns, diffs, and commit messages using NLP. Integrated it with Jenkins pipelines and GitHub workflows to validate the approach against real Eclipse Adoptium repositories. Built in Python, using GitHub APIs and MongoDB. The work was exploratory by design, proving out whether ML-assisted commit triage could be reliable enough to eventually live inside a production CI workflow.

Open Source Developer at Code for GovTech (C4GT), May 2024 - Sep 2024 · 5 mos, Remote, Contributed to the MentorED Portal, an open-source web application designed to enhance learning through mentor-mentee interactions. Key tasks include: Automating sanity test cases to cover major flows and ensure seamless P1 functionality. Developing a generic framework to automate test cases for the Native App, increasing test coverage. Setting up TestNG framework and implementing scripts using Java.
