About me

I’m currently a Software Engineer within the Ad Ranking Organization at Snapchat, where I tackle complex challenges associated with the dynamics of the Ad Marketplace such as Ad-insertion, ad-load, responsible monetization, and forecasting. Concurrently, I am self learning (part-time) Distribured Systems by professors Frans Kaashoek & Robert Morris at MIT and Java Multithreading, Concurrency & Performance Optimization by Michael Pogrebinsky on Udemy.

Prior to joining Snapchat, I graduated with a Bachelor’ s degree in Computer Science from University of Florida, where I was advised by Prof. Cheryl Resch. I developed an Educational Platform designed specifically for students in East Africa, aiming to enhance their understanding of core Computer Science concepts.

Books I'm currently reading:

System Design Interview by Alex Xu
Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann
Designing Machine Learning Systems by Chip Huyen
