I'm a software engineer specializing in Python microservices and CI pipelines built with GitHub Actions, with some hands-on CD experience via Harness. NCSU Computer Science graduate (May 2025, Magna Cum Laude), interested in agentic AI, distributed systems, and data-intensive backend systems.
On the side I'm building Clarus, a cross-platform budgeting and debt-payoff app on Flutter + Supabase + Postgres.
