#About

Cloud, integration, and AI — end to end.

I'm a software developer and AWS specialist based in the United States, currently building enterprise solutions at Leverage Technologies, Inc. My work sits at the intersection of cloud architecture, secure API integration, and applied machine learning.

I hold an MS in Computer Science from Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, where I worked as a graduate research and teaching assistant on deep learning and medical imaging projects. Before grad school, I built enterprise applications as a programming analyst in Hyderabad, India.

Today my focus is AI engineering on AWS — designing serverless architectures, ML pipelines, and secure API gateways that are resilient, scalable, and cost-efficient. This site itself is proof: it runs entirely on AWS for pennies a month.
