Software Engineer @ eGain · AI Evaluation Infrastructure + Agentic Systems · Cornell Break Through Tech AI Fellow
I build AI evaluation platforms
I’m a Software Engineer passionate about building intelligent, scalable systems that bridge cutting-edge AI with real-world user needs. Currently at eGain Corporation, I design and deploy generative AI–driven search and evaluation platforms on AWS, automate large-scale API pipelines, and develop full-stack solutions that power production-grade applications.
I earned my B.S. in Computer Science from San Jose State University in 2025 and have contributed to impactful projects in semantic search, fairness in AI, and conversational systems. I’m excited to continue building systems that scale, deliver value, and make technology more intelligent and accessible.
3rd place in the Actian track at the Scalekit x Actian x Render Agents in Production Hackathon in San Francisco. We built an Autonomous Growth Engine, an AI agent that acts as the actual user, with real permissions, real identity, and a real audit trail. The hard part was never building the agent. It was shipping it safely.
Mentored at the UC Berkeley AI Hackathon 2026. Hundreds of students building from scratch over a weekend, and my job was to help teams get unblocked: thinking through architecture, scoping down ideas that were too ambitious, and pointing them to the right resource at the right time.
Our team OPTimize won Best eGain Hack and Best UI/UX Hack at the eGain Q1 2026 Hackathon. We built Ping Me, an AI-powered tool that instantly connects employees with the right experts, in just 4 hours on AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, and Azure OpenAI GPT-4.
Graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science from San José State University, magna cum laude, in just 3.5 years, as a three-time President’s Scholar and two-time Dean’s Scholar.
Grateful to have attended the WE24 Annual Conference in Chicago, an inspiring gathering of women engineers, innovators, and leaders shaping the future of STEM. From impactful keynotes and panels to connecting with 450+ companies at the career fair, the experience expanded my perspective and fueled my passion for engineering.
Excited to have attended Pinterest’s “Very Creative, Very Inspiring” event in San Francisco! From insightful talks and panel discussions to hands-on activities, it was an inspiring look into Pinterest’s culture, innovation, and career opportunities in Software Engineering and Machine Learning.
Thrilled to have participated in TreeHacks 2024 at Stanford University, a 36-hour hackathon full of innovation and collaboration. Our team created HeriTaste, a project preserving culinary heritage using OpenAI Whisper and FetchAI for interactive storytelling.
Had an amazing time at Intel Discover Day at their Santa Clara campus! From expert panels and Q&As to networking lunches and career insights, the event offered valuable guidance on navigating the tech industry. Grateful to SASE SJSU and Intel for an inspiring and impactful experience.
