We also consider how sport serves as the entry point for many larger debates about the morality and ethics raised by ongoing social change. ### SDE Intern @ Amazon Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Boston, Massachusetts, United States Software Development Engineer on the Alexa Devices, Alexa Multimodal Initiatives Team at Amazon ### Graduate Course Assistant (ME 267) @ Stanford University School of Engineering Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Stanford, California, United States Stanford University Department of Mechanical Engineering Course Assistant for ME 267: Ethics and Equity in Transportation Systems Transportation is a crucial element of human life. It enables communication with others, provides access to employment / economic opportunity, and transports goods upon which we depend. However, transportation also generates negative impacts: pollution, noise, energy consumption and risk to human life. Because of its enormous capability to affect our lives, transportation is one of the most highly regulated businesses in the world. These regulations are designed to promote social welfare, improve access, and protect vulnerable populations. This course examines the origins and impacts of transportation policy and regulation: who benefits, who bears the cost, and how social and individual objectives are achieved. ### Software Engineer Intern @ neurosyense Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | New York, New York, United States Worked on Cybersecurity and Full-Stack Team, helped design and develop product front-end and back-end, and placed focus on ensuring a secure product. ### Incoming Software Engineer Intern @ Schlumberger Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Houston, Texas, United States Internship cancelled due to COVID-19. ### Petroleum Engineer Intern @ Concho Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Odessa/Midland, Texas Area Facilities Engineer in the Permian Basin at Concho Resources Specialized in emissions control, tank battery construction, and electrical design.
