“Internship at ActiveVM where they tackled large-scale Spring Boot 2→3/library migrations across hundreds of downstream products by combining OpenRewrite (AST-based recipes) with an LLM/RAG-based classifier that routed risky files to human experts. Reported ~70% reduction in manual effort and 90%+ accuracy after testing across multiple branches and cutovers; also built a CTR-driven book recommendation capstone showcased at the Google office in Cambridge.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and supported production features in a productivity/task-tracking app using Next.js App Router + TypeScript (server components for initial render, client components for interactivity, API route handlers for mutations). Also designed and optimized Postgres data models/queries and implemented resilient, event-driven payment processing with idempotency, retries, audit logs, and strong testing/observability practices.”

“Data engineer with hands-on experience migrating a legacy/mainframe-fed loader onto GCP, orchestrating daily SFTP-to-GCS ingestion, Spark/Scala transformations, and loading into Cassandra/Solr/OpenSearch with API- and BigQuery-based validation. Also built a Java Spring Boot service that extracts from Hive and produces Excel outputs, emphasizing testing, logging/alerts, and CI setup.”

“Grad student who co-developed a safety-oriented mental health LLM consulting agent using RAG + Gemini and Hugging Face emotion detection to assess user crisis level and adapt responses. Implemented a key reliability improvement for CRISIS scenarios by bypassing generative output and returning direct, emotionless, knowledge-base guidance to seek immediate real-world help.”
