I am a hands-on Research Engineer with a strong passion for understanding systems at their deepest layers. Over the past decade, I have led and contributed to mission-critical projects spanning distributed computing, cybersecurity, wireless/space networking, and programmable infrastructure. My contributions include over 20 publications in renowned conferences and journals, accumulating 500+ citations, and securing 7 patents. I have also contributed to funding proposals for agencies such as the NSF, NRO, DARPA, and SDA. I am particularly drawn to the emerging convergence of AI and systems engineering. My career goal is to continue working at the intersection of AI and system design, developing solutions that are both technically rigorous and operationally impactful.
