Work Experience

Artifact Evaluation Committee Member

Selected to evaluate research artifacts for an ACM security conference; assessed reproducibility, correctness, and documentation of submitted systems.

Volunteer - Data Analytics Developer

Developing a data tracking and analytics system to monitor participation, outcomes, and website-integrated visual summaries.

Instructional Student Assistant

Working as an ISA for the Intro to Computer Architecture course, assisting students during office hours, and grading homework/labs.

Developed visualization tools to assist students in visualizing binary topics.

Working as an ISA for the Intro to Data Structures course, assisting students during office hours, in-class activities, and weekly labs to enhance their learning experience.

Developed a comprehensive guideline for integrating AI into coursework, promoting student growth and understanding, created starter code for students to work on, and provided weekly support to students.

Software Engineer / Student Assistant

As a Student Assistant for CTI, I provide ongoing asynchronous support, helping students troubleshoot code and stay on track with their learning goals. I also contribute to software projects like CTI-sys (CTI's backend data processing system).

Through my sanitization function, it has protected our Google Form from sending malicious code to our backend system. I have fixed bugs that resulted in a broken endpoint, and I am currently implementing a feature to be used for data analysis.

Hired to design an AI grading pipeline to deliver rubric‑aligned feedback for ~100 students' blog posts on their Summer Open Source Experience with CodeDay.

The pipeline efficiently reduced feedback time from taking weeks to ~10 minutes, assisting the small staff.

Software Engineer Intern

Working in a team alongside a Machine Learning engineer at EBSCO, we developed and deployed a Flask API to provide real-time summarisation, allowing users to input arXiv URLs and receive concise, accurate summaries of academic content. Fine-tuned the LED model on 1500 scholarly articles, enabling high-quality, domain-specific summaries with detailed references.

Our fine-tuned model improved by 250% in ROUGE scores for summary quality compared to the baseline model due to complexity in figures in research articles.

Software Engineer Intern

Oppia is an open-source website used by 1 million+ users to help underprivileged students around the world receive a quality education. Contributed by resolving a crucial bug, preventing duplicate tags and fixed errors in documentation.

By fixing the bug, we restored music playback for some lessons, our safety checks ensured duplicate tags couldn't be created, and by adding fixes to the documentation, we were able to assist several developers on Mac who were unable to test the application locally.

Software Engineer Intern

OED is an open-source energy dashboard used by a few government agencies and 10k+ users that displays energy-related data to address climate change. Our team developed and executed a JavaScript test case to verify data accuracy.

Our tests confirmed 100% consistency between PostgreSQL and the API in Dockered staging.
