Experienced Backend Software Engineer with a passion for leveraging technology to drive innovation and solve complex challenges. My journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Information Science with a focus on Cybersecurity from the University of Maryland. I furthered my education by completing the Applied Data Science Program at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where I gained practical insights into data analysis, machine learning algorithms, and deep learning. Along with my academic achievements, I co-founded BitView, a company dedicated to empowering high school students in Baltimore City by teaching them essential coding skills. As the Software Development Team lead, I launched the development of innovative curriculum materials and led a talented team of developers to create impactful learning experiences. During my time at BitView, I also developed pitches and pitched to investors like David Rothschild, contributing to the company's growth and success. Currently, as a Software Engineer at Oracle within the Machine Learning (ML) Jobs team, I have led efforts aimed at enhancing system performance and efficiency. Through strategic initiatives, I successfully achieved a significant reduction in ML Jobs Canary CPU utilization by 58.82% and slashed yearly operational costs related to ML Jobs regional CPU usage by 60%. Additionally, I collaborated closely with the team to spearhead the development of the Jobs E2E Harness Tool project. This tool eliminated the need for manual testing of JRVM images, streamlining processes, and bolstering overall efficiency. My adeptness in developing automation scripts and fostering cross-team collaborations has allowed me to thrive in dynamic environments where innovation and collaboration converge. Outside of my professional endeavors, I am passionate about community engagement and tech education. I have actively participated in recruitment events, mentored interns, and volunteered to lead coding challenges for students. Looking ahead, I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences to make meaningful contributions to the tech community. Whether it's optimizing systems, mentoring future engineers, or driving impactful projects, I am committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible and making a positive impact wherever I go.
