About

I’ve always been curious about how things work and how they can be made better. That curiosity led me into software engineering and eventually into the world of AI, where I enjoy turning ideas into working projects, experimenting with new technologies, and learning by building. I’m currently an SDE I at Zapcom, working across the stack on a travel product. From frontend development and backend systems to APIs, databases, and authentication, I’ve been learning what it takes to build reliable, scalable features that solve real-world problems. Beyond my day-to-day work, I explore AI, LLMs, and emerging technologies through hands-on projects and experiments. I’m especially interested in bridging the gap between impressive demos and AI-powered products that are genuinely useful, reliable, and built for real users. I believe great engineering comes from staying curious, questioning assumptions, and constantly looking for better ways to solve problems. I enjoy collaborating with people who share ideas, challenge perspectives, and are excited to build something meaningful. Always curious. Always building. Always learning.
