Accelerated CS @ Boston University, graduating a year early. I build production systems as the sole engineer — a degree planner used by ~900 students, and a nonprofit's entire 250+ endpoint platform. Alongside that, I contribute to the LLM inference stack (vLLM, llm-d, KServe, InstructLab): my niche there is finding the paths a new feature quietly fails on.

I contribute to vLLM, llm-d (a CNCF sandbox distributed LLM inference stack founded by Red Hat, Google Cloud, IBM Research, CoreWeave and NVIDIA), KServe, and Red Hat's InstructLab. Contributions now also span Grafana, Redis (node-redis — merged fix), Prisma, MLflow, Keras, Datadog, and the Model Context Protocol registry — same method everywhere: reproduce the failure with executed evidence before proposing the fix.
48 pull requests across 19 repositories in 14 organizations |
17 merged — including 12 into llm-d-benchmark reviewed and approved by two separate core maintainers, plus fixes merged into vLLM and node-redis |
9 defects found and filed against a newly released no-Kubernetes deployment path, 6 reproduced live with tracebacks |
~30 substantive code reviews and root-cause analyses on other contributors' PRs and issues |
What I am actually useful for: running a brand-new feature on a machine its maintainers do not have, a clean macOS laptop with no cluster and no GPU, and finding the paths where it reports success while doing nothing. That produced nine issues against one feature, including a container name collision that let one deployment's teardown destroy a sibling deployment's running containers.
Reviewing counts too. On someone else's pull request I found that a proposed dependency pin would fail the project's own version comparison, so every install would re-run the installer and silently overwrite the user's kubectl binary. Proven by running the project's own function against the proposed value.
Also opened fixes merged into the Kubernetes SIG's gateway-api-inference-extension (3 merged, 1 draft) and open PRs against SGLang.
