ABOUT

Curious about
how things work.

I'm Kush, a software engineer and UT Dallas computer science graduate. I like working through complex problems and turning what I learn into useful software.

From systems
to applications.

My experience at Amazon has involved distributed services, data migration workflows, and cloud infrastructure. At Paycom, I worked on backend performance and web applications. Research at USC introduced another kind of engineering question: how to understand the behavior of machine learning models through experiments.

Across those settings, I enjoy tracing a problem through the system, understanding the tradeoffs, and making the result easier to use and maintain.

My personal projects give me room to explore—from educational tools and recommendations to multiplayer game mechanics.

Experience

Amazon

Software engineering

Distributed services, data migration workflows, and cloud infrastructure.

SYSTEMS

Paycom

Software development

Backend performance and customer-facing web applications.

APPLICATIONS

USC

Undergraduate research

Vision-language models, evaluation, and learning from experimental results.

RESEARCH

Tools I work with.

Java and Python for backend systems and experimentation. TypeScript and React for interfaces. SQL, AWS, and distributed data tools for the services underneath.

The tools change with the problem. Clarity, reliability, and an understanding of the whole system stay central.

Let's compare notes.

I'm always interested in thoughtful engineering conversations.
