Khash Portrait
👋🏻

Hello, I'm Khash. Welcome to my digital portfolio! I'm thrilled to have you here to explore my journey through a range of projects, research, and innovations in the dynamic world of technology.

About me

I am currently completing my bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, with graduation expected in Summer 2025. In the Fall, I will begin my master's studies with a focus on AI research. I am primarly interested in training optimization, developing scalable data processing pipelines, and improving deployment strategies for large models. As a research assistant, I have contributed to numerous projects focused on implementing and optimizing algorithms, particularly in tracking land cover changes, such as deforestation. With over four years of experience in full-stack web development, I am skilled in creating dynamic and efficient web applications. I am dedicated to finding innovative solutions to address real-world problems and am always eager to take on new challenges.

My Projects

Onyva

View

Developed a data pipeline that processed terabytes of global satellite imagery for lake research. The pipeline managed data ingestion and storage on a self-hosted database. Additionally, I designed and developed a web application for querying and exporting the persisted data.

  • NextJS
  • PostgreSQL
  • MongoDB
  • NestJS
  • Docker
