Profile
Hello! I'm a Computer Science student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute currently working towards a combined BS/MS degree with an expected graduation in May 2027. Since February, I have been working as a DevOps Cloud Intern at Pinnacle Technology Partners (PTP) where I focus on cloud infrastructure and streamlining deployments in AWS. My technical interests sit at the intersection of networking, cloud architecture, and machine learning. That being said, I am constantly exploring emerging tech and building small, fun projects to streamline a variety of daily tasks.
Looking ahead to the next academic year, I will be completing my Major Qualifying Project (MQP) in collaboration with Microsoft. Our team is building a virtual lab simulation for Microsoft SONiC switches, using telemetry data and machine learning to improve network reliability. This follows my Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP), in which I completed international research in Venice, Italy. During that time, my team and I formulized equations and data cleansing practices of over 40 years-worth of data to analyze the livability of the city's historic islands. I enjoy taking on projects that require a mix of high-level systems thinking and hands-on coding.
Outside of the classroom and the office, I wrapped up another season with the WPI Alpine Ski Team this February. I also like to spend my time with pickup soccer, tennis, and an ongoing (yet largely unsuccessful) attempt to teach myself the guitar. I’m always looking to connect with professionals in the DevOps, AI/ML, or Cloud Networking space, and can't wait to continue my academic and professional journeys.
