About

A quick snapshot of what I do and what I care about.

What I build

Secure web apps, cloud infrastructure, automation pipelines, and ML prototypes that can actually be tested and used. I like projects where performance, reliability, and security all matter.

What I’m optimizing for

  • Clear outcomes (time saved, accuracy improved, incidents reduced)
  • Security by default (WAF, least privilege, rate limiting)
  • Simple deployments that don’t break at 2AM

Experience

Software Engineer — Avika Billing Solutions LLC

Houston, TX • Aug 2025 – Present
  • Architected and deployed a HIPAA-aligned SaaS medical billing platform serving 100+ active users using Flask, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, RDS, and SES.
  • Designed secure ACH + credit card payment infrastructure (NACHA generation, webhooks, monitoring), reducing processing time by 70%.
  • Built cloud infrastructure + DevOps pipeline: SSL/TLS, domain management, CI/CD deployments, and database migrations.
  • Configured AWS WAF + rate-limiting policies to prevent abuse, contributing to 99% uptime.

Graduate Researcher — PRISE Project (ECEN Dept.)

College Station, TX • Aug 2023 – Present
  • Designed and trained a PyTorch model for malicious TCP traffic detection achieving 95% accuracy.
  • Processed and analyzed 100K+ packets using Pandas to identify anomalies and attack patterns.
  • Deployed trained models as Flask REST APIs for real-time inference in simulated production environments.
  • Conducted anomaly detection across cyber-physical attack scenarios using NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib.

Graduate Teaching Assistant — Texas A&M University (ETID Dept.)

College Station, TX • Jan 2024 – Present
  • Lead hands-on networking laboratory sessions using Cisco routers and switches to reinforce applied routing and switching concepts
  • Designed and implemented varied network topologies to demonstrate OSPF, BGP, RIP, VLANs, Trunking, DHCP, and STP configurations
  • Guided students in troubleshooting real-world networking scenarios using terminal commands across Linux and Windows systems
  • Provided individualized mentorship and technical support to help students achieve course objectives and develop workforce-ready skills.
