Exploring how platforms like Quickwit use object storage instead of RAM and still stay really fast.

experience

Kong · Software Engineer Intern, Observability

May 2026 - Jul 2026
  • Optimized Apache Druid segment layout and ingestion to sustain 5B+ logs/week, absorbing traffic spikes from 20M to 300M logs/hour (a 1400% surge) without query degradation.
  • Contributed to the request–response evolution capability for Kong's observability platform, enabling teams to track plugin mutations and all external calls for a request.
  • Built end-to-end test coverage and authored architecture, regional deployment, and disaster recovery (DR) diagrams to improve system reliability and onboarding.

Lemnisca · AI Engineer Intern

Mar 2026 - May 2026
  • Avira, a RAG chatbot for bioprocess scientists. Query decomposition, Gemini File Search for retrieval, page-accurate citations, three retrieval modes (strict, augmented, rewrite).
  • A multi-agent debate system on AgentScope: 7 specialist agents, moderator-driven consensus, persistent cross-session memory via ReMeLight + ReMe.
  • Cloud Run deployments, PostHog AI for tracing.

Rocketium · SDE Intern, Fullstack & DevOps

Nov 2024 - Dec 2025
  • CI/CD on CircleCI + a GitHub Probot app. Deploy lead time down 25%.
  • Fullstack observability with OpenTelemetry and Kloudmate. MTTR down 30%.
  • HTML export service for motion ads, with a recovery-based DP compression pass. Output stays under 150KB without visible quality loss.
  • PSD and Figma import plugins. Layer-by-layer parsing of images, text, and shapes into Rocketium's schema.

Scaler School of Technology · Teaching Assistant, DSA

Apr 2024 - Nov 2024
  • Mentored 52 students through Data Structures & Algorithms.

projects

BeEidetic

2026

Next.js · TypeScript · Drizzle · Anthropic

  • An AI mentor that takes you from beginner to expert in any technical subject — powered by the web's best articles and videos, not LLM knowledge. Builds a milestone roadmap, scouts HN, Reddit, YouTube, and the web, and recommends only what is worth your time. Decline with a reason and it replans; optional quizzes check what stuck.

The Jury

2026

Kotlin Multiplatform · Compose

  • An AI jury simulator for Android and Desktop. Multi-agent personas, streaming responses, persistent debate history. A side project.

Ragster

2025

TypeScript

  • A small RAG pipeline I built while learning - chunking, embedding, retrieval, generation.

n8n-nodes-memu

2025

TypeScript

  • An n8n community node that exposes memu's memory primitives to automation workflows.
