Software & Network Engineer · CS + Statistics @ UCLA · Director of Development @ ACM UCLA · Incoming SWE Intern @ Oracle OCI
I specialize in networking, distributed systems, and infrastructure problems where downtime isn't an option. I like building things that have to actually work in production: hybrid cloud/on-prem setups, APIs for airgapped environments, distributed infrastructure across regions.
At Viasat, I built the control and management web tool and REST API for their Next Generation Modem in three weeks, helped secure a $250K product order, and represented the team at IEEE MILCOM 2025. Previously: GN&C systems engineering on Trident II at Draper Laboratory, neutron scattering simulations at NIST. This summer: Oracle OCI.
Most of what I know came from reading other people's code, and contributing back is the least I can do. I contribute to SasView, a scientific scattering analysis tool used by researchers worldwide, and maintain gopher (a public router tackling real problems in packet routing and NAT traversal) and altsuite (a self-hosted SaaS alternatives platform, because subscriptions are a scam).
When I'm not pushing commits, I'm repairing mechanical watches (NH35 movements), doing woodworking, or playing Tractor (升级/拖拉机) way too competitively.
