Key Strengths

  • End-to-end ownership of a solo capstone (design, mechatronics, software)
  • Hands-on hardware/mechanical iteration using CAD and 3D printing (resin/PLA)
  • Analytical debugging of actuator failure via force/friction/mass calculations; corrected electromagnet winding (500 turns vs >2000 needed)
  • Cloud-native platform engineering experience (Kubernetes deployments, GitOps CI/CD on AWS)
  • Built a low-latency speech-to-text backend API for an accessibility-focused (deafblind) smartphone prototype
  • Pragmatic handling of STT latency by streaming intermediate transcription buffers to users
  • Hands-on Kubernetes deployment experience (webhook) with AWS-based CI/CD automation
  • Implemented GitOps-style CI with automated triggers on main branch commits and Docker image build/publish to ECR
  • Designed secure partner data ingestion on AWS using S3 VPC endpoints, least-privilege IAM, and IP-based restrictions
  • Operationalized multi-partner data exchange with per-partner buckets and standardized directory/metadata requirements
  • Takes LLM prototypes to production via structured phases (requirements, research, engineering, validation)
  • Uses diagrams/visuals to align stakeholders and clarify requirements early
  • Simplifies complex agentic/state-machine prompt flows using LangGraph
  • Real-time troubleshooting approach leveraging centralized logging + Elasticsearch and detailed customer prompt/context capture
  • Delivers client demos that include performance and cost metrics with charts/graphs
  • Partners with sales/customer teams by proactively suggesting improved report formats (e.g., pivoting tables) to drive BI adoption
