PROFESSIONAL

Software Development Engineer Intern, Amazon Web Services

· Designed and shipped the Enhanced Staging Bar, an author-awareness panel for AWS Marketing's Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) publishing platform that computes a live publish-sync verdict across 5 states in under 200ms, showing 300+ AWS.com authors whether a page matches production.

· Reverse-engineered the existing notification-bar stack (Sling model, HTL, authoring clientlib, editor overlay) across 11 modules, then reused an in-repo replication-timestamp precedent to de-risk the core sync logic.

· Prototyped all 5 badge states and a Coral UI acknowledgment dialog with a publish-drift timeline in HTML/CSS and Figma to validate the UX before implementation.

· Reached 95% author adoption within 2 weeks of production launch, replacing 3–5 minutes of manual publish-state verification per page with an at-a-glance check and eliminating recurring stale-content incidents.

Software Engineering Intern, Identity & Access Management (Flight Systems), NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory

· Replaced JPL's manual federation onboarding with an internal SSO intake platform (OAuth 2.0/OIDC validation, automated request lifecycle), saving 120+ engineering hours and $200K a year.

· Designed and deployed a RAG assistant unifying documentation across 4 identity domains (Linux, SSO, LDAP, access management), cutting troubleshooting time 60% for 200+ lab engineers.

· Automated telemetry preprocessing and feature extraction for flight systems with Python ETL pipelines, speeding up mission engineering analysis by 40%.

Software Development Consultant, Corsair (via DataRes @ UCLA)

· Built a React/PostgreSQL dashboard that gave Corsair's product team one live view of 4 signal streams (product sentiment, competitors, reviews, community discussion) scraped from Reddit and Amazon.

· Wrote 2 Python scrapers (PRAW, Playwright) feeding a sentence-level sentiment pipeline (VADER + RoBERTa) that ingests idempotently into Postgres via SHA-256 dedupe keys.

· Added alerting and AI-summary pipelines that replaced 5+ hours of weekly manual market monitoring.

Head Teaching Assistant, CS 31 & CS 32, UCLA Department of Computer Science

· Teach weekly C++ labs for 35 students and lead TA operations across 2 core courses, covering memory models, pointers, and data structures; author review materials used course-wide by 300+ students.

· Coordinate the TA team across both courses, run midterm and final review sessions each quarter, and hold weekly office hours for 1-on-1 debugging help.

Interconnected & Integrated Bioelectronics Lab (I²BL)

Engineered the React-based human–machine interface for I²BL’s ferrobotic research platform, turning complex control workflows into an operator-facing system for programming and coordinating ferrofluid robots. The work supported a new class of automated microfluidic logistics designed to manipulate microscale liquid samples for accessible, scalable diagnostic systems.
