Ex-Amazon SDE Looking For Next Opportunity
What I Do
I am a highly motivated and driven software engineer. I recently graduated from Ohio State in May 2022, and began my career in August 2022. Unfortunately, I was hit by the recent layoffs at Amazon, and am seeking my next opportunity. I have a wealth of relevant work experience in software engineering through my time at Amazon and my three internships. Additionally, I have some experience in data engineering and ML, and am increasing my expertise in those fields. I have a broad range of interests and can apply my skillset to a variety of industries including tech, finance, law, healthcare, manufacturing, etc.
Outside of school, I love reading and dancing, and even got the opportunity to be the captain of a Desi dance team during my time at Ohio State. Check out our 1st place National Championship performance here!
