    I am a recent MS Computer Engineering grad (SJSU, May 2026) looking for infrastructure, platform, DevOps, or AI systems engineering roles. At Syngenta I scaled AWS infrastructure across 100+ accounts, built reusable Terraform modules now used by 50+ teams, and drove roughly $500K in annual cost savings through resource optimization. At State Street I built a RAG-based internal AI system on Confluence data plus Terraform automation tooling that cut manual deployment effort by 60%. More recently I built Magpie, a multi-agent tool that won Most Innovative Use of Agents at the Harness hackathon at the AWS Builder Loft, and a working MCP server from scratch. I like owning systems end to end, from design to production, especially where reliability and performance have real consequences. Happy to work onsite, hybrid, or remote.
