## Work Experience
### Fullstack Software Engineer @ CollegeNET
Jan 2023 – Present
•  Deployed Gemini-powered LLM system that extracts and formats equations from lecture videos—cut processing
from hours to 5 minutes.
• Built browser tool for instructors to record screen and webcam simultaneously, combining them into side-by-side
video using FFmpeg. Intended to increases student engagement.
• Built dashboard to analyze live and historical meeting data—attendance drop-off, speaking time distribution—used
to optimize scheduling across 200+ sessions. Used D3.js.
• Built translation system end-to-end Google API integration, database schema, background jobs, and
caching—supporting 29 languages for messages, threads, and transcripts.
• Implemented team-wide testing infrastructure from scratch with CI-gated merges using JUnit/Mockito;
significantly reduced debugging time and protected release velocity.
• Restructured 2.7k-line god component into modular architecture, reducing complexity by 62% and eliminating
duplicate API calls—resulting in smaller PRs and faster code reviews.

### Undergraduate Student Instructor (uGSI) for Machine Structures @ UC Berkeley Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences (EECS)
Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Berkeley
• Led a class of 40 students in learning Computer Architecture. Delivered lectures, facilitated group work, and assisted students with review sessions and office hours.
• For underperforming students, provided academic support through recurring meetings and academic planning, resulting in all 5 students passing their final exams and an average of 20% increase in scores

### Events Assistant & Secretary @ Associated Students of Foothill College

Prior to running for the ICC president role, I served as the secretary. I took meeting minutes and drafted agendas while learning about the ICCfund allocation process.

### Software Development Intern @ City of San José
Jan 2020 – Jan 2020
I assisted in the migration of .NET applications, such as CleanSlate (tattoo removal service), and worked with the database administrator to understand the city's most vital operations structures. Some of my accomplishments are as follows.

• Modernized application to fit current browser standards, introduced CRUD using ASP.NET & C#.
• Migrated applications to .NET Core by using a .NET portability analyzer, compiling dependencies, and rewriting portions of the legacy codebase, resulting in a 15% decrease in response time for the product.
- Improved code documentation by 25%, and the number of scrum artifacts by 15%, by adding automated documentation tools, and documenting the test coverage process.

### Volunteer - Physics Show @ Foothill College

I got to teach elementary school kids about the wonders of physics through entertaining demonstrations! Attendance of multiple local schools that fill up an entire 400 people lecture hall. Gave independent tours to elementary school students aged 6 - 12.

### Marketing Team Member @ Enactus
