ABOUT

I am a Senior Software Developer at Classranked LLC, responsible for leading the backend team. My role includes designing and developing APIs, implementing backend business logic, and managing database design. I also handle the development and maintenance of our SaaS infrastructure. Additionally, I set up load and stress tests for APIs and write unit test cases to ensure performance and reliability.

Previously, I was an MS student in the Department of Computer Science at Old Dominion University (ODU), where I worked with Dr. Michael L. Nelson and Dr. Michele C. Weigle in the WS-DL research lab. At WS-DL, I focused on using web archives to find and visualize 115th Congressional Deleted Tweets.

I have a total of 9.5 years of work experience, including four years as a Graduate Research Assistant at ODU and 2.5 years as a Software Engineer at Harman Connected Services, India.
