About

Software engineer with a Master of Science in Computer Science from Northeastern University, Boston. I have built systems across IoT platforms, enterprise analytics, cloud-native APIs, and machine learning — with an emphasis on clean code, automated testing, and scalable architecture.

My interests sit at the intersection of product thinking and engineering precision.

Patent

Playback Session Transitions Across Different Platforms

Invented techniques that let a user move an in-progress audio stream seamlessly between devices and platforms — including across different networking protocols — using a mobile device as the coordinator. Maintains the current track, position, and context during handoff; enables transfers between heterogeneous networking/protocol domains.

Patent · US20240078331A1

Secure Temporary Guest Access to a Media Playback System

Designed mechanisms where a host’s media system can issue a temporary guest account — on request from a control device — that enables selected playback functions for a limited period, then automatically restricts or revokes access when the window ends based on system messages or policies. Coordinates access across a networked playback system via a computing device and control device.
