• Delivered production-ready software under tight deadlines while collaborating with design and business teams.

• Designed and implemented RESTful APIs with Python FastAPI + PostgreSQL.

• Built a React + TypeScript front end to deliver interactive, component-based UIs.

• Automated infrastructure deployment by creating separate Packer images (front-end & back-end), integrating GitHub Actions CI/CD for image builds and deployments, and provisioning the complete cloud environment using Terraform on AWS. PROJECTS

Kubernetes Deployment of RAG application for course surveys Northeastern University

• Packaged the LLM application using Docker and deployed on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) with Helm charts for versioned, repeatable releases.

• Provisioned a VM image with Packer and installed Jenkins, enabling consistent CI/CD server setup and integration into the deployment pipeline.

• Integrated Jenkins pipelines for automated build, test, and deployment workflows, ensuring smooth delivery into Kubernetes environments.

• Secured and scaled the system with Istio Ingress, cert-manager SSL, and AWS external DNS, while monitoring via Google Managed Prometheus and distributed tracing.

• Built Kubernetes CRDs to notify Microsoft Teams on deployments/rollbacks and hardened the cluster using a Bastion Host for secure access.

Cloud Native Application

Northeastern University

• Built back-end features with Python, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, including user authentication, health-check, and profile picture management with AWS S3.

• Automated AMI creation with Packer, designed GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows for build, test, and integration, and implemented systemd services for app startup.

• Provisioned scalable AWS resources with Terraform, including VPC, RDS, S3 (encryption & lifecycle rules), Load Balancer, Auto Scaling Groups, Route 53, IAM roles, and Security Groups.

• Developed AWS Lambda + SNS for user confirmation emails, integrated CloudWatch for logging/monitoring, and automated EC2 scaling using alarms and policies.

GCP ETL Data Migration Pipeline

Blurbpoint Media

• Utilized the GCP environment, incorporating Google Cloud Storage (GCS), and implemented an Apache Beam-based ingestion framework on Dataflow for loading data into BigQuery.

• Developed and implemented Airflow Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) to automate batch job execution, ensuring data quality and uniformity by managing custom Airflow operators and establishing notification protocols to alert business teams of data inconsistencies.

• Based on business requirements, implemented either incremental or truncate-and-load strategies to load data into final BigQuery tables, ensuring data accuracy and efficient processing.

• Built data models, views, and explores in Looker on top of BigQuery datasets to enable interactive dashboards and visualizations such as bar charts and pie charts.

• Optimized BigQuery pipelines through clustering, partitioning, and CTE-based query tuning, resulting in improved processing efficiency and reduced data latency for downstream systems.
