# Caryn D. > MS in Computer Science @ Northeastern | Software Engineer | Java · Spring Boot · .NET · AWS Location: Boston, Massachusetts, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/caryn 👋 Hello! I’m a Software Engineer and Master’s student in Computer Science at Northeastern University, passionate about building scalable, impactful systems that solve real-world problems. With 2+ years of experience designing and developing distributed backend and full-stack applications across defense, edtech, and fintech industries, I’ve re-engineered legacy systems, developed a VR-based Ground Control Station, and built secure, high-throughput payment and analytics systems using Java, Spring Boot, and AWS. My strengths lie in problem-solving, system design, and cloud architecture, and I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments where innovation and impact intersect. I’m currently seeking Software Engineering or Backend/Cloud Internships for Spring (Jan 2026) or Summer 2026, where I can contribute to dynamic engineering teams while expanding my skills in Java, AWS, Spring Boot, React, and distributed systems. Let’s connect — I’m always open to discussing technology, collaboration, and opportunities that make a difference. ## Work Experience ### Back End Developer @ Mira Intel Jan 2026 – Present | Boston, Massachusetts, United States ### Software Engineer I @ NewSpace Research and Technologies Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Bangalore Urban, Karnataka, India Contributed to software development for UAV visualization and control systems within the defense technology domain. • Architected and re-engineered a Unity-based drone visualization platform into a modern WebGL application, improving cross-platform compatibility by 40% and reducing load times by 30%. • Led end-to-end development of a VR Ground Control Station, enhancing pilot control performance by 50%. • Migrated simulation components to high-performance C# .
