🧠 About Me

I'm a backend-focused software engineer who's most comfortable at the intersection of distributed systems, infrastructure, and security. I've shipped production systems across self-hosted Linux deployments and GIS applications β€” and I care deeply about the stuff that holds it all together: reliability, threat modelling, and clean architecture.

πŸš€ Featured Projects

πŸ€– ContinuumAI β€” Agentic AI Data Scientist (Senior Capstone)

Autonomous agent using Model Context Protocol (MCP) that reasons over complex datasets in real time.

  • Exposes 5+ tools to a Python inference engine for multi-step decision-making
  • Built a Parquet-to-SQL ETL pipeline + Chart Spec engine for structured data querying
  • Hardened via STRIDE threat modelling & SonarQube β€” resolved 15+ security issues

🌊 HiPer-FedKD β€” Federated Learning Framework

Novel FL framework tackling data heterogeneity in distributed edge-AI environments.

  • +16% accuracy gain via bidirectional knowledge distillation
  • Benchmarked on high-performance Linux clusters using PyTorch

πŸ—„οΈ StayOpsApp β€” High-Availability DB on Kubernetes

HA SQL Server cluster targeting 99.9% uptime on Kubernetes.

  • Persistent volumes, network policies, and YAML-driven CI deployments
  • Tuned 1M+ row database via partitioning and execution plan analysis

⚑ Fault-Tolerant KV Store with Raft (Go)

Distributed key-value store with full Raft consensus across 5 nodes.

  • Sustains strong consistency under 2 simultaneous node failures
  • Resolved 10+ race conditions; validated under adversarial network partition scenarios
