Tamara · Product Engineer, Backend Jun 2026 - Sep 2026
Built a segmentation service for 26M+ users served at <50ms edge latency
Irvine, CA
I'm a rising senior in UC Irvine, studying Computer Science and Mathematics. I enjoy working on Graph Theory, AI, and other algorithmically intensive fields. I apply data-oriented design desicions and optimizations to get latency times lower and lower in my systems.
I participated in many Math competitions while growing up in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. And have national and international competition wins under my belt. I'm always on the lookout for opportunities to apply and hone the problem-solving skills that I've learned along the way.
