Experience
Software Developer
Built a tool that reads hundred-page deal memos and pulls out the key details, cutting analyst review time. Now building search across 400+ past deals and web tools that replace a 20-person team's spreadsheets.
Research Engineer
Built the system that gathers 500+ messy data sources into clean collections used for testing AI models. Also fixed the bugs that kept the lab's research app from running smoothly on low-end phones.
Research Intern
Analyzed 20,000+ student activity logs to find which question formats students actually finish. The findings are now guiding how AI gets built into College Board's CSAwesome computer science curriculum.
Research Intern
Wrote software that controls the lab's high-voltage power supplies over the network and runs several tests at the same time. The change tripled the number of tests the lab could get through.
Research Intern
Built a tool that makes large image-recognition AI models 13× smaller while staying 98% faithful to the originals. That makes them light enough to run on small everyday devices instead of big servers.
