About

I engineer high-performance distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and AI agent governance — specializing in low-latency key-value stores, concurrent task orchestrators, and deterministic, fail-closed AI pipelines.

My recent work includes a Go Redis-compatible store hitting 75K+ ops/sec, a distributed orchestrator handling 20,000+ concurrent tasks, and a fail-closed ML deployment agent later upstreamed into DataHub's own skills repository.

Currently studying Computer Science at Arizona State University (4.0 GPA, expected Dec 2028), seeking Fall 2026 software engineering internships.

"Engineered for high throughput, fault tolerance, and low latency — building robust cloud infrastructure from first principles."

UnderWrite — Fail-Closed ML Deployment Gate

Deterministic Authorization Agent for ML Deployments

Built a five-stage deployment agent (Acquisition, Normalization, Traversal, Evaluation, Verdict) that traverses DataHub column-level lineage to block ML models with target leakage before deploy.
Kept the authorization path fully deterministic and fail-closed — an unreachable DataHub instance blocks the deploy instead of defaulting to approval; the LLM is scoped only to post-block remediation, never the verdict.
Validated the fail-closed boundary with 70 tests (67 running with no network dependency); upstreamed the pattern to DataHub's own skills repository via a proposal, an implementation PR, and a Core API issue.
