## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ TravelJoy

### Software Engineer @ Vista
Jan 2020 – Jan 2021

### Research Assistant @ Shenhav Laboratory
Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | Providence, Rhode Island, United States
- Assist with transferring experiments programmed in MATLAB for in-person studies to online experiments in Javascript
- Program experiments to closely match the MATLAB experiments and account for additional factors of hosting a study online (inability to prompt subject and reiterate understanding, enforce actual participation of study rather than clicking through to the end, etc.)
- Work with graduate students and Prof. Amitai Shenhav to revise and create more versions of a task in order to test various conditions and hypotheses.

### Software Engineer Intern @ Transposit
Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | San Francisco, California, United States
- Created public profile pages for Transposit, a start up that, at the time, was a platform to develop API-dependent apps. The profile displayed public apps on cards and information about the developer (previously, public apps were only accessible with the exact URL)
- Implemented an “edit” and “live” view of the public profile, as well as added to the application information card with more meaningful features (last updated timestamp, number of times the app has been forked, ability to feature on profile, tags to show which APIs were used in the application)
- Used React, Redux, HTML, CSS for frontend work and Java and SQL in the backend.
