Hi, I'm Sasha! I'm currently studying Computer Science & Engineering at MIT (class of 2027)!
I particularly excited about:
- product-minded engineering
- data-intensive applications
- internal tooling that improves engineering velocity
- AI-integrated systems (RAG, Agentic Systems, etc.)
- Java (Spring Boot), Python (FastAPI/Flask/Django), Go, C/C++
- REST APIs, GraphQL, microservices architecture
- Asynchronous processing, event-driven systems
- PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB
- Data modeling, indexing, query optimization
- Redis (caching), message queues (Kafka/RabbitMQ)
- AWS (EC2, S3, ECR, EKS), Docker
- CI/CD, Terraform
- Observability, system debugging
- React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML/CSS
- I love baking and inventing unique ice cream flavors - my best is black sesame!
- Once made a podcast about chicken nuggets.
- I am in an a capella group at MIT!
- Proud cat parent to a feline named Chili.
