About Me
I'm an experienced tech professional passionate about building scalable applications and leveraging AI to drive innovation.
Professional Biography
I'm an experienced tech professional passionate about building scalable applications and leveraging AI to drive innovation. With hands-on experience across Google, UMass Amherst, and Arrow Electronics, I've developed a deep understanding of full-stack development, mobile apps, and AI-driven solutions.
At Google, I spent over three years building and scaling ad serving infrastructure for Google and YouTube Ads — systems that process billions of auctions daily. My work spanned Angular-based frontends, Dart and Java backend services, and cross-functional collaboration with product, SRE, and privacy engineering teams.
Before Google, I built web and mobile applications at UMass Amherst using React Native and React/JS, and interned at Arrow Electronics contributing to Flutter/Dart cross-platform apps and React web interfaces.
I love building SaaS applications — turning ideas into products that scale efficiently. I constantly experiment with cutting-edge frameworks and AI tools like Lovable AI, Bolt, ChatGPT, LangChain, and MidJourney.
Today I write weekly about AI tools for engineers, SaaS product strategy, and software engineering career growth — drawing directly from my experience at scale.
Work Experience
Led development of ad serving components for Google and YouTube Ads, building high-throughput Angular frontends and Dart/Java backend services. Delivered features impacting hundreds of millions of users at scale. Collaborated closely with product and SRE teams to maintain 99.9%+ uptime across critical ad pipelines.
Developed a Flutter/Dart cross-platform mobile application for an internal Google tooling team. Implemented feature screens, integrated Firebase for real-time data, and shipped a production-ready release within a 12-week internship.
UMass Amherst
Software EngineerBuilt and maintained web and mobile applications for the university’s research and student services division. Developed React Native mobile apps and React/JS web portals serving thousands of students, faculty, and researchers.
Arrow Electronics
Software Engineer InternContributed to a cross-platform mobile app using Flutter and Dart while also supporting front-end web features in React. Worked directly with senior engineers to integrate third-party REST APIs for supply chain data visualization.
