About Me

Career Path and Aspirations

I started my career in engineering with a degree in Petroleum Engineering, but quickly transitioned into software after discovering a stronger interest in building systems and solving real-world problems through code. Since then, I’ve spent the last 4 years working as a Full Stack Engineer across Web2 and Web3 environments.

My experience spans healthcare, education, and blockchain platforms. At Headbridge, I built and scaled a multi-module backend handling real-time chat, marketplace listings, and payment workflows. I’ve also worked on AI-driven systems, including a RAG-based recommendation engine for student placement, and developed smart contracts for production-grade blockchain applications winning hackathons like Chainlink and Blockgames in the process.

Across roles, I’ve focused on performance, system design, and reliability; optimizing databases, improving API efficiency, and building responsive frontends with React and React Native. I’ve also worked with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes) and implemented secure, scalable architectures.

Looking ahead, I want to deepen my expertise in building high-performance, distributed systems and contribute to products that operate at scale. I’m particularly interested in working on platforms that combine strong engineering with real user impact.

Ideal Volunteer Opportunity

My ideal volunteer opportunity is one where I can contribute meaningfully to a real product while continuing to grow as an engineer. I’m particularly drawn to early-stage or mission-driven teams where there’s room to take ownership, move quickly, and solve practical problems that impact users.

At this stage, I’m also intentional about staying sharp; continuously building, shipping, and improving systems. So I value opportunities where I can work on production-level features, collaborate with other engineers, and be part of an active development cycle.

Equally important, I see volunteering as a way to build strong professional relationships. I’m looking to connect with experienced builders, contribute reliably, and earn trust through my work ideally leading to long-term collaboration, referrals, or future opportunities.

Overall, I’m looking for a role where I can add real value, keep improving technically, and grow within a team that is building something meaningful.
