⌾ Atlanta, GA

Hi, I’m Sami.

I’m a software engineer with about three years of professional experience building and supporting production backend systems.

Most recently, I worked at TransCore on Java and .NET services for intelligent transportation systems—data ingestion, validation, WebSocket infrastructure, and production debugging across services, databases, and field devices.

Before that, I built test automation at VMware and evaluated code-focused AI systems at Scale AI. I’m also pursuing Georgia Tech’s part-time M.S. in Computer Science, where I have a 4.0 GPA in the Machine Learning specialization.

Open to full-time software engineering, backend, systems, and AI/ML roles.

Software Engineer · TransCore

Built production Java and .NET services supporting traffic-signal timing, real-time operational data, and correctness-critical validation. Developed an SFTP ingestion pipeline for compressed controller data and optimized an IIS WebSocket proxy, reducing average client-to-service latency from 270 ms to 142 ms.

Advanced Programmer, AI Training · Scale AI

Evaluated AI-generated code, wrote functional solutions in Python and Java, created adversarial and edge-case tests, and reviewed reinforcement-learning-from-human-feedback tasks with a distributed team.

Software Development Engineer · VMware

Built Appium and Selenium automation in C#, scaled testing across operating systems with Ansible, and expanded unit and integration coverage. The framework reached approximately 95% automated coverage and helped shorten development and QA cycles.

Computer networks

Network protocols and control

Implemented graduate networking projects spanning distributed spanning-tree behavior, routing, software-defined firewall policy, and proxy services.

Production systems

Data correctness at system boundaries

Designed database-backed validation and production diagnostics around asynchronous services, embedded-device constraints, timing-dependent behavior, and real-time operational data.
