About

🚀 Innovating at the Intersection of AI, Systems, and Education With a Master’s in Computer Science (2024) and Telecommunications, I have worked across AI research, network systems, and software engineering—bridging LLMs, RAG, and databases with real-world applications. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Temple University, I have mentored students in Java, cybersecurity, computer networks, and capstone projects, fostering an interactive and engaging learning experience. Throughout my academic and professional life, I've had the privilege to collaborate with industry leaders. I contributed my expertise to Comcast's Smart Network Platform team, ensured global network stability at United Airlines within their Global Network Operation Center, and engaged in a transformative Mainframe (COBOL) based insurance project during my tenure at Tata Consultancy Services. 🔹 Research & Teaching Focus: ✔ LLMs & RAG – Enhancing AI-driven decision-making through prompt engineering. ✔ Computer Networks & Security – Researching scalable network policies. ✔ Systems Programming – Teaching students how systems and software interact. ✔ Data Mining & Forecasting – Applying deep learning to real-world predictions. I'm truly driven by the joy of problem-solving, blending my intellect with technical skills to address complex challenges. I thrive on the collaboration and interaction that comes with the territory, both with machines and fellow humans. I'm excited to connect with like-minded professionals, share experiences, and explore new opportunities that allow me to apply my knowledge and passion for the betterment of network systems and computer science. Feel free to connect, and let's embark on a journey of innovation together!
