Software Engineering Student Building Systems, Networking Tools, and Infrastructure

I’m a Computer Science / Software Engineering student at the University of Texas at Arlington focused on cloud systems, cybersecurity, networking, and developer infrastructure. I previously interned at Oracle and will be returning for another summer, while actively building DevServer, a student developer environment platform centered on Linux, containers, and remote workflows. I’m especially interested in building systems end-to-end from implementation to scalable, maintainable cloud infrastructure and in creating practical tools that support real-world development workflows.

/about

Engineer-minded, systems-focused, networking-curious.

I’m a University of Texas at Arlington student focused on software engineering and computer science, with a growing body of work around cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, networking, containers, and developer tooling. My goal is to build dependable software that feels practical in real environments, whether that means improving visibility, automating workflows, or designing tools that solve concrete engineering problems.

Professional Snapshot

My experience at Oracle strengthened how I think about engineering in production-minded environments: collaborating with teams, learning from experienced engineers, and understanding how design, implementation, testing, maintenance, communication, and iteration come together in real software organizations.

Outside internship work, I like projects that sit close to systems behavior, networking visibility, infrastructure awareness, automation, containerized application development, and developer platform design. I’m especially motivated by software that organizes complexity, improves reliability, and helps people work more effectively, not just code that works in isolation.

Featured Experience

Software Engineering Intern

Oracle

Summer 2025 Returning Summer 2026

At Oracle, I worked on networking-focused infrastructure for Private Cloud Appliance, researching, designing, and documenting a new Network Traffic Analytics feature centered on SR-IOV Virtual Cloud Network visibility and observability. The work deepened my interest in production networking software, systems reliability, and infrastructure-aware engineering.

  • Researched, designed, and documented a new Network Traffic Analytics feature for Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Virtual Cloud Networks, focused on SR-IOV VCN visibility and observability.
  • Analyzed network traffic flows and system constraints, then collaborated with senior engineers to prototype the feature and lay architectural groundwork for a future customer-facing networking capability.
  • Built and validated feature infrastructure with Python and Bash, containerized with Podman, orchestrated in Kubernetes, integrated into existing CI/CD pipelines, and tested against Cisco switches and Oracle PCA hardware in production-like environments.
  • Ported and containerized 180+ Network Controller unit tests into a MySQL-backed framework using a database container for reliable validation and CI-friendly execution.
  • Improved unit test performance by about 80% and refactored over half of the ported tests to strengthen error handling, edge-case coverage, and failure diagnostics.

Research Experience

Research Assistant

Tacit Captions - UTA / The Hybrid Atelier

Aug 2024 - Dec 2024

Collaborated with a multidisciplinary team of six to develop a multi-modal caption rendering system for sensor-based feedback and co-author a peer-reviewed paper, TacitCaptions: Externalizing Tacit Skills within Neon Glass Bending Practices through Sensor-Video Synchronized Cues. The work sat at the intersection of data processing, signal interpretation, accessibility-oriented feedback, and research communication.

  • Developed Python data-processing pipelines with pandas to extract, clean, analyze, and validate time-series sensor data used throughout the captioning workflow.
  • Implemented signal-processing logic that converted live sensor values into synchronized WebVTT captions for a multi-modal assistive feedback system.
  • Reviewed existing multi-modal and assistive captioning systems to inform system design, evaluation, and alignment between implementation and research goals.
  • Authored technical sections of the paper covering signal processing, sensor data extraction, and data-validation methodology.

/projects

Projects that reflect systems thinking, networking interest, and practical execution.

These projects are positioned to show more than class output. They highlight how I think about infrastructure, networking visibility, automation, data organization, testing, and tools with real engineering utility across the software lifecycle.

featured project / ongoing /projects/devserver

DevServer

Student Dev Environment Platform

An active platform-oriented systems project focused on giving students isolated remote Linux development environments for coursework, projects, and terminal-based workflows. The build reflects how I think about infrastructure, containers, security boundaries, and practical developer tooling in academic settings, with an emphasis on design choices that are testable, maintainable, and useful for real academic workflows.

  • Designing managed per-student Linux workspaces with isolated shell access, personal home directories, and practical remote development workflows.
  • Exploring container-aware environment orchestration for class-specific tooling, reproducible setups, and platform-managed resource tiers.
  • Shaping the architecture around systems design, security boundaries, networking considerations, and operational simplicity so the platform is easier to support and more useful to students and course teams.

featured project /projects/socketscout

SocketScout

A high-performance concurrent port scanner built in Python with an asyncio-driven pipeline, per-host isolation, and modular service interrogation. SocketScout reflects my interest in networking internals, systems correctness, and practical security tooling.

  • Scans multiple hosts and large port ranges concurrently using non-blocking I/O with explicit per-host state isolation.
  • Supports TCP connect scanning by default, optional SYN-based scanning, and modular banner grabbing for service metadata extraction.
  • Designed around clean separation between scan orchestration, networking primitives, validation, and output formatting.

featured project /projects/thermodynamics-database

Thermodynamics Database

A practical database and scripting project built around storing and querying thermodynamic table values. The project combines structured data design, automation, and command-line workflow thinking in a Linux environment.

  • Built a MySQL-backed database for thermodynamic tables and values with SQL scripts and repeatable setup logic.
  • Used CSV ingestion, parsing, Bash automation, and Python-based lookup tooling to support efficient retrieval workflows.
  • Demonstrates applied data organization, scripting, installation automation, and practical system-oriented project design.

Multi-Modal Sensor Captioning System

A research-driven caption rendering system built to externalize tacit skills through synchronized sensor-video cues. The project combined sensor data processing, caption generation, and validation against live input within a multi-modal feedback environment.

  • Built Python and pandas-based scripts to extract, clean, analyze, and validate time-series sensor data for the captioning pipeline.
  • Implemented caption-generation logic to detect sensor-state changes and map them into synchronized WebVTT caption events.
  • Contributed to system design decisions by validating data pipelines against live sensor behavior and aligning the implementation with the associated research paper.
