Summary
I'm a Software Development Engineer at AWS, where I work on AWS Shield to build scalable systems that defend against DDoS attacks. My role involves designing resilient backend services, integrating AWS tools like Lambda, CloudWatch, and DynamoDB, and applying machine learning to detect abnormal traffic patterns. My work aligns closely with my academic background — I earned a Master's in Computer Science from East Texas A&M University, where I focused on network security. I'm passionate about building reliable infrastructure, solving real-world problems, and always learning new things in tech.
