- Senior Software Engineer, Salesforce
I’m a Senior Software Engineer at Salesforce, where I work on the Data Federation Service (DFS) - a critical component of the Salesforce Customer 360 Data Manager (C360DM). In this role, I am a key player in building out the query engine that enables our different “clouds” to seamlessly exchange data that is represented differently in each product.
I’m also currently a Master’s Student at Stanford University, where I’m specializing in Artificial Intelligence. My coursework and projects at Stanford have been broadly focused on the applications of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science to problems in the healthcare space.
Before I was a Trailblazer or a Cardinal, I was an undergrad at UC Berkeley, studying Computer Science (although I briefly did flirt with Pre-Med and Economics, which explains my continued fascination with medicine and entrepreneurship). Around this time, I had various different research and internship roles at Workday, the Haas School of Business, Berkeley SETI, and SafelyYou.
In my free-time, you can find me delivering speeches at my local Toastmasters Chapter, reading “Variety” to catch-up on the latest entertainment news, or using my trusty binoculars to look for different planets and comets.
Interests. RESTful Services, Deep Learning, Healthcare

Projects
- neXt-Ray: Deep Learning on Bone X-Rays [code] [paper] Built and trained Residual Network (ResNet) to predict whether Bone X-Rays from upper-extremity regions are normal or abnormal, outperforming or matching radiologist performance on finger and humerus studies
- Multi-Org Data Exchange [overview] Led the development of the Multi-Org data exchange feature found in C360DM, allowing customers to retrieve data records from all their different Salesforce orgs by just issuing one query to DFS. I spearheaded the E2E implementation of the feature, from the OData->SOQL query conversions to the intricacies of doing so in an authenticated manner. Multi-Org has been one of the most popular features in C360DM
- Transformation Engine [overview] Contributed crucial features to the engine that drives the metadata-based conversion of data from one schema to another as part of C360DM. Advancements I provided to the transformation engine include the abilities to specify in the metadata (1) which data records to sort by particular fields before transforming (2) subtype polymorphism via casting (3) how to navigate relationships arcs in data models
