As a core engineer, I made significant contributions to the open-source community, mentoring in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and Google Code-In programs, and was recognized as the youngest GSoC mentor in 2017. My work addressed key issues, enabling full functionality for DVB and Teletext subtitle extraction from multi-program MPEG-4 live streams, facilitating the subtitle extraction for UCLA’s NewsScape archive video library. Winning Google Code-In 2016 allowed me to introduce high school students to the program, fostering their interest in open-source development and promoting collaboration across diverse teams.
