## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ IBM
Jan 2022 – Present | San Jose, California, United States

### Course Producer for CSCI 350: Operating Systems @ USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Los Angeles, California, United States
I hosted office hours where I answered students' questions about concurrency, deadlock control, synchronization scheduling, memory management, protection and access control, and inter-process communication.

### Course Producer for CSCI 356: Introduction to Computer Systems @ USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Los Angeles, California, United States
I held weekly office hours where I helped students debug C and x86 assembly projects and answered questions on data representation, memory hierarchies, caches, compilation, linking, and heap management.

### Extreme Blue Software Development Intern @ IBM
Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | San Jose, California, United States
Over the summer, I worked in a team of 3 interns to rapidly design and prototype a cloud-based observability solution that provides real-time insights into business and IT application performance. I designed UI mock-ups, architected our microservice application, and wrote, packaged and deployed machine learning models. 

After presenting our project to the IBM Software GM, it was adapted and launched as Instana Business Monitoring in 2022. We filed three patent disclosures related to multi-modal computation and optimization of business process metrics.

### Software Development Intern @ IBM
Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Emeryville, California, United States
For my primary project, I implemented an Istio service mesh to enable secure mTLS communication between Aspera on Cloud microservices. As part of an intern hackathon, I also developed an application that leverages computer vision to identify and redact racially-identifying language from police reports with the goal of decreasing implicit bias.

### Course Producer for INF 250: Introduction to Data Informatics @ USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Los Angeles, California
I reviewed assignments and hosted office hours where I answered students' questions about foundational machine learning algorithms, data storage and visualization techniques.

### VP of Scale @ Troy Labs
Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Greater Los Angeles Area
I worked with LA-based startups to improve user retention and scale their businesses in the USC community. I lead focus groups, designed and distributed user research surveys, and presented detailed analytical reports to founders. As Vice President, also I headed weekly Scale meetings and coordinated with the broader Troy Labs organization.

### Research and Development Intern, Corporate and Business Development @ Automation Anywhere
Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | San Jose, CA
I developed an application that evaluated the performance of several computer vision APIs. The findings were used to select the final API used in the product. I also built a bot that preprocessed images of drivers licenses for training and testing an AI model.

### Lifeguard @ Almaden Valley Athletic Club
Jan 2017 – Jan 2019 | San Francisco Bay Area
Over several summers, I maintained a safe, clean, and enjoyable environment for guests while upholding AVAC’s high standards of customer service

### Researcher, Project Manager @ USC Sydney Harman Academy for Polymathic Study, Ahmanson Lab
Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Greater Los Angeles Area
As an Ahmanson Lab Innovation Scholar, I worked on the Ahmanson Lab Collaboratory project, Terraforming Mars, for over a year. During our research phase, I collected, analyzed, and modeled data simulating conditions of a terraformed Mars. During our development phase, I managed a team of researchers, VR developers, and beta testers creating an immersive VR experience of a terraformed Mars. We presented our research findings and our VR project to a panel of professors and scholars at the end of the year.

### Teacher Assistant @ MATH ENRICHMENT SUMMER ACADEMY INC
