Work Experience

• Full Stack Software Engineer Intern Swimage Naperville, IL Company providing OS imaging and disaster recovery solutions June 2025 – Present

- Architected and deployed an LLM classification tool using the Google Gemini API to automate the categorization of software entries from an MS SQL database, streamlining a previously manual process.

- Engineered a data pipeline in Python to pre-process software data, reducing token usage before feeding structured JSON to the LLM, and seamlessly integrating the classified results back into the database.

- Developed a secure, multi-tenant authentication system from the ground up using FastAPI, implementing JWTs, password hashing/salting, and a bitmask-based permissions model for granular, organization-level access control.

- Contributed to migrating a legacy client portal from SharePoint/PHP to Vue.js by building RESTful API endpoints with FastAPI, Pydantic, and SQLAlchemy, and rebuilding client-facing dashboards.

• Lead Full Stack Engineer (Freelance) ClipAndTrim.io Remote Contract project for a client based in the Netherlands March 2025 – Aug 2025

- Delivered a full-stack web application that allows users to specify timestamps to create, preview, and download clips from YouTube videos, managing the project from conception to deployment.

- Built a robust Python/FastAPI backend for video processing using yt-dlp/FFmpeg and deployed it on DigitalO- cean, utilizing Beam.cloud for high-performance, GPU-accelerated video encoding.

- Developed a responsive and interactive frontend with React and TypeScript, integrating Supabase for database storage, Stripe for payment processing, and Google OAuth for secure user authentication. Software Development Projects

• Programming Language Design and Implementation Java, Compiler/Interpreter Design University of Florida - Programming Language Concepts Course Project

- Engineered a complete programming language toolchain in Java, including a lexer, recursive-descent parser for AST generation, type analyzer, tree-walk evaluator, and a code generator targeting Java.

• Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT) Model Python, PyTorch Personal Project

- Implemented a GPT model from scratch based on the "Attention Is All You Need" paper, focusing on core mechanisms like multi-head self-attention, positional encoding, and feed-forward networks.

- Optimized training efficiency (validation loss) and model generalization using batch processing and dropout.

• SyncSpace - Group Management Platform Python (Flask), MySQL, React, AWS University of Florida - Software Engineering Course Project

- Co-developed a club management platform (messaging, events, forums) on a 4-person team using Agile/Scrum methodologies; contributed to building features on the React frontend and Flask backend. Leadership and Involvement

• UF Men’s Club Volleyball: Secretary (2025-Pres), Head of Merchandise (2024-25)
