Software Engineer in the developer rotational program

I teach weekly Scratch classes to 24 New Haven public school students and inspire their interest in coding. I also serve on the board to organize on-the-ground logistics and manage two application cycles of 100+ mentor applicants. In addition I provide teaching support, guest career lectures, and planned community bonding events for fellow mentors.

I was on a team focused on privacy jurisdiction in Regulatory Readiness Engineering during a 12-week internship. I built and owned a Thrift API for region-specific restrictions (e.g. GDPR), called by 50+ teams 2 billion times daily. I also created a no-code tool in Hack/PHP and React for the implementation of 150 restrictions for legal compliance. Later, I had the opportunity to design and implement a consolidated data pipeline to process location-based restrictions for 40 billion Facebook, Instagram, and Oculus accounts, accelerating and simplifying the process of adding support for new account types. For many of these projects, but especially the pipeline I collaborated with cross-functional partners in design and legal to realize changes to determining restriction eligibility.

I Designed and ran severing assays using TIRF and IRM microscopy to investigate the severing mechanism of the microtubule-associated protein spastin purified with column chromatography. I also developed image analysis tools in MATLAB and models of severing behavior in Julia to validate experimental results and elucidate possible mechanisms for severing behavior.
