## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Doppel
Jan 2024 – Present | New York, New York, United States
Threat Intelligence Team
- Owned end-to-end development of a threat intelligence product (0→1), driving customer discovery, feature design, and iteration through direct customer calls, demos, and feedback loops
- Built systems for analyzing and visualizing relationships between security threats, modeling entities and connections as graph structures to enable detection of coordinated attack patterns
- Developed timeline-based views by aggregating and ordering event data, allowing users to trace how threats evolve over time
- Designed backend workflows to compute relationships between entities (e.g., shared infrastructure or behavioral similarities), improving visibility into attack campaigns
- Designed how campaign data is translated into clear, user-facing summaries, determining key inputs and structuring outputs to effectively communicate patterns, risks, and insights
- Enhanced performance of data-heavy workflows through query optimization and caching strategies to support interactive exploration

Core Team
- Defined and implemented rule-based and heuristic filtering logic to identify and exclude non-malicious data, ensuring detection systems focused on meaningful threats
- Developed a filtering system to prevent benign or customer-owned content from entering detection pipelines, leveraging pattern matching, metadata validation, and allowlist/denylist strategies to reduce false positives
- Built long-term data storage (cold storage) infrastructure to support reliable retention and retrieval of historical data, enabling access to past events without impacting primary system performance

Human Risk Management Team
- Led development of an AI-powered content generation system, using LLM-based workflows to generate and structure security training content at scale
- Designed workflows to transform unstructured customer requests into structured training outputs using templating, AI generation, and validation

### Software Engineer @ Yext
Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | New York, New York, United States
- Implemented core ETL mapping, enabling data extraction from custom sources and transformation for integration with any custom destination
- Contributed to backend development, MySQL and Protocol Buffer design, and React state management, leading to a promotion within nine months
- Engineered a smooth transition from AWS to GCP, enabling support for both platforms to meet customer preferences for data storage location
- Resolved critical user-facing bugs by adding and analyzing tracing in Grafana Tempo, improving application stability and user experience
- Optimized database queries to improve pagination load times by 700% and decreased the wait time for customers on highly trafficked pages
- Led a team of two and designed the technical specification for the project by addressing user complaints and critical edge cases

### Web Development Intern @ Hawkins\Brown
Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | London Area, United Kingdom

- Designed custom Apache Airflow tasks and DAGs to export, process, and upsert data between databases

### DRAM Product Engineer Intern @ Micron Technology
Jan 2021 – Jan 2021
- Built a dashboard displaying server health trends and statistics for over 1,200 servers in Micron’s server farm
- Developed a metric to be used by server farm engineers to determine what servers should be prioritized for maintenance
- Interpreted three years of customer server farm data using Google Cloud Platform to determine the causes of irregularities and errors

### Research Assistant @ Cybersecurity at MIT Sloan
Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
-Analyzed cloud security and its intersection in industry applications such as Industrial Control Systems and Energy Delivery Systems
-Conducted literature reviews and condensed and summarized my findings into documents and presentations
