At work, I'm part of the Texas State University Libraries Systems Team. I build full-stack features, write unit and integration tests, set up CI/CD pipelines to university RHEL servers, and add observability metrics in a real production environment.

Outside of work, I focus on inference architectures and backend. Right now I'm drawn to secure inference specifically.

A clinical AI screening tool for diabetic retinopathy: A leading cause of preventable blindness that often shows no symptoms until too late.

• Trained ResNet-50 via transfer learning to classify retinal fundus images across 5 severity grades
• End-to-end microservice stack: React → Node.js → FastAPI → PostgreSQL, containerized with Docker
• Built with a personal reason: diabetes runs in my family

• Built services from issues the team assigns, if the specs in api-specs.yaml and the controller already exist then I implement the service; 20% of the time nothing exists in the backend, so I communicate with supervisors, update the schema and models, add the new api specs, and build the controller and the services.
• Connecting a Texas State Azure Blob Storage service to the libraries travel app so staff can view unstructured files in the browser and running + testing the containers in Microsoft Azure.
• Built fronted components using shadcn, typescript & next.js and and wiring them to the services.
• Built a Sandbox Backend & Database network using Api docs, Postgres, Typescript, Docker and Postman to test endpoints.

• Building a production TOPS Asset management web app for Texas State University Libraries, replacing a .exe application using Typescript, Next.js(React), REST APIs(Flask), PostgreSQL, Docker, Postman and Git.
• Built a JWT cookie header based auth system with Next.js proxy + Argon2 client side hashing and session guards across all route groups.
• Co-designed a SQL guardrail to patch a data-integrity vulnerability in the existing Backend(Flask) by eliminating duplicate net-ID insertion using parameterized WHERE NOT EXISTS sub-queries.
• Co-deployed TOPS Asset Management Web App to a TXST Red Hat Enterprise Linux test server via a custom Github Actions CI/CD pipeline with Linters, Dependency Tests, Unit Tests and Integration Tests.

• Built a Book Inventory management web app using JavaScript, React, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, Docker and Git.
• Built a JWT session storage based auth system with Argon2 client side hashing and session guards across all route groups.
• Built a custom 5-column MUI-DataGrid component with inline row editing, debounced search, and batch edit/cancel and its CRUD routes in the backend.
• Co-deployed the app to a TXST Red Hat Enterprise Linux test server via a custom Github Actions CI/CD pipeline with Dependency Tests and Unit Tests, under guidance of senior developer.

• Build 4 resuable error pages from scratch using HTML and CSS(Tailwind & BootStrap)
• Customized CSS for each screen type mobile, tablet & Laptop so the pages are responsive.
• Pages deployed to be used by any application under TXST network to replace generic error messages/pages.

• Spent ~2 years as a research coach at the university. Helping students find what they need taught me that clear communication is its own kind of skill.
• Former middle school math tutor. Engineering problems are usually easier (usually).
• I go back to DSA and first principles often. Understanding code matters more than shipping fast — though both matter.
