Hello, I'm

Software Engineer

I'm a third year data science student at UC San Diego. I'm interested in building data-driven tools that make a difference in people's lives.

About Me

I'm a software engineer with a passion for blending clean design with robust technical execution. Whether I'm building personal projects or collaborating with cross-functional teams, I strive to create tools that are intuitive, impactful, and user-first. With experience in front-end frameworks, back-end systems, and machine learning pipelines, I enjoy taking projects from idea to production.

Outside of work, you'll probably find me in the ocean surfing, exploring something new in the data world, or hanging out with my dog, Leia. I'm always open to collaborating on innovative ideas or just chatting about cool tech, the environment, or the best surf breaks near San Diego.

I'm open to part-time, remote roles in software engineering or data science for Fall 2025, and actively looking for a full-time opportunity in Summer 2026. Feel free to reach out!

Experience

Student Researcher

June 2025 - October 2025

University of California, San Diego

  • Analyzed 9TB of Intel DCA telemetry to profile CPU power-state residency and burst behavior, then delivered plots and a short brief that set the team's next analysis priorities
  • Standardized analysis notebooks with DuckDB over partitioned parquet and added validation checks
  • Audited data quality and schema changes, tested attribution to specific apps, and proposed the data joins needed to complete the analysis

Data Science Summer Intern

August 2025

Filyn Inc

  • Ingested FDA CTD PDFs into a normalized Postgres model with section-level metadata, which turned free-form documents into queryable records for analysis
  • Designed a CTD-aware schema with text indexes, enabling fast filterable search by module, section, title, and keywords
  • Shipped semantic search using embeddings in pgvector, improving retrieval quality for section lookups

Software Engineering Intern

June 2025 - September 2025

Specter Aerospace

  • Shipped React control panels used in hypersonic test operations, shortening operator paths, and adding real time telemetry via Node.js
  • Built the facility HMI and live dashboards that visualize hundreds of ADS variables at high frequency, improving readability
  • Stabilized the PLC and UI data path with sequence checks and buffered streams, removing UI desyncs and keeping hardware signals aligned with on-screen controls

Data Science Intern

July 2024 - September 2024

Fizz Social

  • Built a news indexing and ranking pipeline over NewsAPI and Google News that turned user prompts into traceable, ranked results
  • Implemented query expansion and similarity search mechanisms, improving the precision and relevance based on user input
  • Analyzed and visualized data, providing insights into user engagement and content relevancy through metrics including NDCG (84%), MAP (73%), and MRR (83%)
